How high the gift! how great the benefit! pardon of sin, a free pardon without money and without price; a pardon for the chief of sinners, for a world of sinners; though dearly purchased by Christ, freely given to us; a pardon that silences condemnation, removes fear, begets boldness. Doth the Law accuse? we point to this sacrifice and say, There is my satisfaction. Doth conscience tremble? looking to Jesus how can we fear! Are we weighed down with our guilt peculiarly heavy, bound as under an ephah of lead, or lying under a burden as the sand of the sea? this Blood cleanseth from all sin, unbinds every heavy burden, sets the prisoner free, sends him forth from the pit of sin and death to partake in the glorious liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.
