Every sinner should view himself as standing in God’s presence and before his throne, accursed and condemned, till by faith he becomes partaker of Jesus Christ, and of that redemption that is in him. For such a realizing sense of our ruined condemned circumstances, as sinners, is the great preparative for embracing the Savior, and prizing the gospel salvation. “The whole need not the physician, but they that are sick.” Such contrite, humble, self-emptied sinners, Christ came to save, to such he is welcome, and to them it is a saying worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ is come into the world to save sinners.
