Description
“We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19.
DURING the last two Sabbaths, I have been preaching the gospel to the unconverted. I have earnest-ly exhorted the very chief of sinners to look to Jesus Christ—and have assured them that as a preparation for coming to Christ they need no good works, or good dispositions—but that they may come just as they are to the foot of the cross and receive the pardoning blood and all-sufficient merits of the Lord Je- sus Christ. The thought has since occurred to me that some who were ignorant of the gospel might, per- haps, put this query—is this likely to promote morality? If the gospel is a proclamation of pardon to the very chief of sinners, will not this be a license to sin? In what respects can the gospel be said to be a gospel according to holiness? How will such preaching operate? Will it make men better? Will they be more attentive to the laws which relate to man and man? Will they be more obedient to the statutes which relate to man and God? I thought, therefore, that we would advance a step further and endeavor to show, this morning, how the proclamation of the gospel of God, though in the commencement addresses itself to men who are utterly destitute of any good, is, nevertheless, designed to lead these very men to the noblest heights of virtue.
