Are you sure you are on the right way? Do you know where you must go for the pardon of your sins? Do you know where forgiveness is to be found? There is a way both sure and plain, and I want to guide you into that way.
The right way is simply to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. It is to cast your soul with all its sins unreservedly on Christ—to cease completely from any dependence on your own works and to rest on no work but Christ’s work, no righteousness but Christ’s righteousness, no merit but Christ’s merit, as your ground of hope. Take this course, and you are a pardoned soul.
“To [Christ],” says Peter, “give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:4343To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43)).
The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. There He allowed the wrath of God, which we deserved, to fall on His own head. For our sin He gave Himself, the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty, that He might provide a full, unqualified pardon for all who are willing to receive it.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31)). Come to Him now with all your sins and wickedness, with all your doubts and fears, with all your feelings of unfitness and unworthiness, and He will not cast you out nor refuse you. He has said it. He will stand by it, for He never breaks His word.
