The name of Christ will be precious to your heart. God has given him to be the Saviour of the lost; and, coming to him as worthy of death, you are welcome to the blessing of eternal life. No man is so little a sinner but that he must perish for ever without him; and no man so great a sinner as that he need despair of mercy in him. He has died, the just for the unjust, that he may bring us to God. His blood cleanseth from sin, and the benefits of it are free. The invitations of the gospel are universal. Though God would never hear the prayers or regard the tears of a sinner, like you, for your own sake; yet he will hear from heaven, his dwelling-place, that petition which is sincerely offered in the name of his Son.
Andrew Fuller — Letter to "My dear young friend," in "Correspondence with Friends," in the Memoir, in The Complete Works of the Rev. Andrew Fuller, with a Memoir of His Life (London: G. & J. Dyer, 1846), p. lxxv
