To the cross all history and prophecy, all type and symbol, the whole contents of Divine revelation, are related, and all are important, as they are indicative of the plan of redeeming mercy. What benefit is received from the gospel that is not connected with the sacrifice and death of the Lord Jesus Christ? Our redemption is a redemption through His blood: our reconciliation is a reconciliation by Jesus Christ: our peace is a peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord: our justification is a justification freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: the purification of our hearts and consciences from dead works, to serve the living God, is effected by the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God.
