He is of a most gracious Disposition, and therefore ready to accept of returning sinners Joel 2.13. Turn ye unto the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful. Hence if the greatest sinners in the world should come unto the Lord Jesus with an heart really desirous to be his Disciples, he will not cast them out. Paul before his Conversion had bin a Blasphemer & a Persecutor of Christ & his Church, and very injurious both to God and man, yet when he was brought to submit himself unto Christ, and to say, Lord what wilt thou have me to do, the Lord would in no wise cast him out. why?

Therefore if any man come to him, he will in no wise cast him out.
