The blood of Christ, as proclaimed in the preaching of the gospel, is the appointed means of bringing sinners near to God. It is the doctrine of salvation through the blood of Christ that is, by way of eminency, called the gospel. It was this doctrine which Christ commissioned his disciples to preach to every creature: "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem!" This doctrine is good news to every creature; and that whether it be received or rejected. It is good news that a way is opened, by the death of Christ, for any sinner to return to God and be saved; and that, if any sinner walk therein, he shall be saved.
