God's law is holy, and his gospel is holy. Paul says, the law is holy, and just, and good: so are all the acts of God's will in Christ, respecting salvation by Him, as it is revealed and made known by the everlasting gospel of the blessed God. It is the gospel is the only remedy for a sinner; and it is a complete one, as it contains this in the same—That Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners—That He hath obeyed the whole law—That He hath stood in the place, room, and stead of his people, the just for the unjust, to bring us unto God—That He bore the sins of his people in his own body, and hath put them away by the sacrifice of himself; and that his blood, now and evermore, cleanseth from all sin.
