View him by faith, embodying, in his own person and character, every excellence of the purest morality, every virtue of the most exalted piety, and every attribute of Deity: believe that such a Christ as this died for you—as really for you as though there had been no other sinner in the world. Approach the throne of grace in his name. Ask forgiveness far Christ's sake. Plead his merits, his person, his character, his offices, his purity, dignity, divinity. Plead his life! Plead his sufferings! Plead his death! Say, Jesus lived for me! suffered for me! died for me! Say, “He was wounded for my transgressions, and bruised for my iniquities;” and thus commit your soul to him by faith.
