The riches of grace have been procured by the sacrificial merit of his death. We are redeemed, not with corruptible things, as silver or gold; but with the precious blood of Christ. Many theories of salvation have been propounded; many figments of their own invention substituted for the foundation which God himself has laid in Zion, by those who have an invincible objection to being bought with a price. But those who will not accept of "redemption through the blood" of Christ, must take the alternative. In his atonement we see the price, and in that price the value of his riches, as well as the highest reason for their being called his.
