Your complaint, when put into its proper language, seems to run thus: "Why must we be obliged to trust in Christ alone? Why must we be obliged to assure ourselves of salvation by him?" Whereas, instead of a complaint, it should be matter of exultation, and we should rather express ourselves in this manner: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, that a sinner, such a vile sinner, should be allowed to take Christ and all his salvation as my own; and thus to assure myself of pardon, holiness and glory."
