For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God] And Mark 4. 12. shows, that the unconverted have not their sins forgiven them.] Joh. 3. 18. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already] And Act. 26. 18. To open their eyes, and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith that is in me.] Rom. 8. 1.

And which of these are in the safer state?
