My hearers, blot out the doctrine of redemption by the blood of Christ, from the pages of the Bible, and you consign with ruthless hand, the entire race of sinful man to destruction. Deny that we may be justified by faith in his blood, and you teach, unconsciously, but inevitably, the doctrine of universal damnation. Take away the atonement, and you may take the rest of the Bible. For its empty covers, would be, I would not say, as useful, but certainly as consoling, as Sinai without Calvary; as a Gospel without a Saviour.
