A God You Cannot Satisfy, A Law You Cannot Keep . . .
\nI have tried diligently to preach God as He really is, to sinners as
\nthey really are, and to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ as the only Mediator
\nbetween the holy God and sinful men, the all-glorious Redeemer who
\naccomplished, by Himself, the reconciliation of His people (II Cor.
\n5:18-21). I have tried, and shall continue to do so, to preach to you:
\n1. A God you cannot satisfy,
\n2.A law you cannot keep,
\n3.An obedience you cannot produce,
\n4.A righteousness you cannot produce,
\n5.A love you cannot give,
\n6.Sin you cannot get rid of,
\n7.A judgment you cannot endure,
\n8.A repentance you cannot produce,
\n9.A faith which God alone can give,
\n10.But \u2026 a Christ who fully satisfied God for sinners and who freely
\nsaves the vilest of sinners. I urge you to look to Him, believe Him,
\ntrust Him, and confidently commit your guilty soul unto Him. Simply hug
\nup to Him in childlike faith and trust, and all will be well with your
\nsoul. In Him there is no condemnation.
