If sinners are pardoned and saved any otherwise than through the atonement and righteousness of Christ, there will be no evidence that their salvation is by grace. That the salvation of sinners is wholly by grace is a doctrine most clearly and fully taught in the gospel. It is so expressly asserted on a great variety of occasions in the New Testament, as to render it unnecessary to recite any particular passage. Though all who profess to believe the gospel will acknowledge that the salvation of sinners must be by grace, many, however, entertain very different ideas of the nature and import of that grace by which sinners are saved.
