If God spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will he refuse such as come to him humbly soliciting pardon? The gift of his own Son is such a demonstration of his merciful design that no sinner need despair; and the merits of Jesus Christ, the intrinsic worth and sufficiency of his sacrifice, are sufficient to inspire the hope of forgiveness, even should our sins be in number as the sand of the sea, and in aggravation as crimson and scarlet. "It is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, even the chief." "He came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." No degree of guilt can exceed the worth, no depth of pollution surpass the cleansing virtue of the Saviour's blood.
