The blood of Christ speaks likewise to men. It speaks to secure and bold sinners, going on in impenitence, and reminds them of the inestimable value of their immortal souls, which could be redeemed from destruction only by the precious blood of the Son of God. It represents to them the holiness and justice of God, which, for an atonement, has required such a ransom. Farther, it speaks to penitent sinners, who know their depravity, and are humbled for their sins. It represents to them the inconceivable love of God, which moved him to give up to a bloody death his only Son. It promises them the remission of all their sins; informs them that the wrath of God is appeased; his justice satisfied; and his mercy ready to receive into his bosom, and impart grace to every soul, that is sprinkled with the blood of Christ.
