Secondly; You have an Offer of a Redeemer: Horrible your madness, if you slight it! The Lord Jesus Christ is infinitely willing and ready to say unto the vilest, the most forlorn and undone Creature among us all, I am thy Redeemer. It was said, Psal. 130. 7. With the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous Redemption. The Redeemer makes to every one of us, a proffer of a part in that Redemption. After all our monstrous unworthiness, and though we have nothing but wickedness and filthiness, and worthlessness, to recommend us unto the mercies of the Lord; yet He mercifully makes an offer of Redemption unto us. It is proclaimed in His Name, the Silver-Trumpets of His Glorious Gospel utter the Proclamation; Liberty, Liberty for the Captives of Hell, and Redemption for them that are bound! The Heartbreaking offer of the Lord Jesus Christ unto us, is that; Jer 15. 21. I will Redeem thee out of the Hand of the Terrible. Perishing Soul, How canst thou reject such a charming offer? When the Lord Redeemer says to the Guilty Soul, I will Redeem thee from the wrath of Heaven! To the Ignorant Soul, I will Redeem thee […] ⟨p. 172⟩Darkness? To the Depraved Soul, I will Redeem thee from all thy Sickness! To the Soul Dead in Trespasses and Sins, I will Redeem thee from Death! even from Eternal Death. Oh, Receive not this Grace of God in vain.
