After the great Chicago fire took place, a great many things were sent to Chicago from all parts of the world. The boxes were labeled “For the people who were burned out,” and all a man had to do was to prove that he had been “burned out,” and he got a share. So all you have to do is to prove you are a poor miserable sinner, and there is help for you in Christ Jesus.
If every man who is ruined and lost will cling to “try,” there is no hope; but if he will give up “trying” and confess he is unable to help himself, then Christ can and will save him.
The law condemns us, but Christ saves us.
