That sense of unworthiness which men sometimes offer as an excuse for staying away from Christ, so far from being a valid apology, is, if deep and real, the very condition, and the indispensable condition, of their coming to Him acceptably. A true conviction of sin is the passport of the sinner to Christ. This, with trust in Christ as the Saviour of sinners, and a full determination to accept the salvation of the Gospel upon the terms of the Gospel, is all the qualification that can ever be attained for entering fully and unreservedly into the Gospel covenant.
