As “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—as he is the only Mediator between God and men—therefore you accept him as your Mediator, rejecting every system which encourages the notion of any other mediation. As “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” by shedding his blood in atonement for our offences, and as the efficacy of his mediation so plainly depends on the sufficiency of this atonement—therefore you accept this atonement as the ground of your justification in the sight of God, rejecting every system which presumes to substitute, or add, any other expiation; or which, on the other hand, denies the necessity of an expiation.
