The Sinner's Friend

[Nottheworld]

God has made, from his side, a threefold provision for every man and woman in the hour of crisis. First, Jesus has come as the Friend of sinners; second, it is he personally (and no intermediary) whom women and men are called to meet; and third, the Holy Spirit has been poured out upon all flesh, to bring to pass in man the initial work of conviction of sin, repentance and faith, and of course, all that follows. Then, finally, from the side of the sinner, one condition and only one is demanded. He is not required-in the first place-to believe, or to repent, or to be conscious of sin, or even to know that Christ died. He is required only to approach the Lord with an honest heart.
