Simple faith in the atoning blood can save my soul: and with John. I must call the attention of all to the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus has saved me, though I had nothing to present to him, and could only say:—
(PH089 32.1)
“In my hand no price I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling.”
(PH089 32.2)
Never did a sinner seek the Saviour with the whole heart, but that the Saviour was found of him. Every soul who trusts in Jesus can say:—
(PH089 32.3)
“Just as I am, thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because thy promise I believe; O Lamb of God, I come, I come.”
(PH089 32.4)
We may claim the blessed assurance, “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions.” Thy “sins, which are many, are forgiven.” O how precious, how refreshing, is the sunlight of God’s love! The sinner may look upon his sin-stained life, and say, “Who is he that condescended? It is Christ that died.”“Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” Christ, the Restorer, plants a new principle of life in the soul, and that plant grows and produces fruit. The grace of Christ purifies while it pardons, and fits men for a holy heaven. We are to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, until we reach the full stature of men and women in Christ.
