Believing, from the heart, that you are a sinner, — a sinner justly condemned, utterly lost, who cannot save yourself, and whom no created arm can save — and believing that, nevertheless, God is willing to save just such a lost sinner as you are, if you repent and believe in Christ; the next, last, crowning, entering step into the kingdom is — believe that all this is true of you now: that God will, this moment, as you sit where you sit, forgive your sins for Christ’s sake, if you are penitent; that — through the exceeding riches of his grace — you may rise up and go forth a Christian, redeemed by the blood of Jesus unto newness of life.
