Grace & Salvation
Salvation must be of grace, because the Lord is the author of it: and what motive but grace could move him to save the guilty?
There is life in a look at the Crucified One, there is life at this moment for thee.

Do you think that you must be lost because you are a sinner? This is the reason why you can be saved.
Assuredly the contemplation of the death of Christ is one of the surest and speediest methods of gaining repentance. Do not sit down and try to pump up repentance from the dry well of corrupt nature.
We need fresh supplies of heavenly grace, and in the covenant the Lord has pledged himself to give all we require.
Thus Jesus is magnified—for all is in him and by him; thus the inheritance is made certain to us—for it is obtained in him.
When God saw Jesus in the sinner’s place, he did not spare him; and when he finds the unregenerate without Christ, he will not spare them.
The word ‘Go’ was exchanged for ‘Come’; distance was made to give place to nearness.
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished.
