How would a condemned Malefactor love that Person that should bring him a Pardon; yea, the Messenger that should bring him News of it? So it is with the condemned Sinner, the Sentence is pass’d, he that believes not is damned. O what Joy is it to hear of Salvation by Christ, when the Sinner hath a Sense of his Misery! This immortal Life comes through the Gospel: When a Sermon of Christ is preached, News from Heaven is brought to Sinners; and what News is it? O, that there is Mercy and Pardon for poor Sinners! Saith the believing Soul, shall my Soul live? Is Christ become my Salvation? O what blessed Gospel is this! What precious News is this! Now, Soul, do you look on the Gospel as glad Tidings, and the Feet of them that bring it beautiful? If not, be sure Christ is not your Life.
John Gammon — John Gammon, Christ, a Christian’s Life: or, a Practical Discourse of a Believer’s Life, Derived from Christ, and Resolved into Christ, 6th ed. (London: Joseph and Mary Marshall, 1743), p. 218
