When man has sinned, the remission or pardon of sin is not attainable by him, otherwise than in and by the merits of the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ, who freely purchased our ransom.

Rom. c. iii. v. 23, 24, 25. “For all have sinned; and do need the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood.”

1 Cor. vi. 20. “For you are bought with a great price.”

Ephes. i. 7. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”

Coloss. i. 14. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins.” ii. 14. “Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us.”

1 Tim. ii. 5,6. “For there is one God, and one Mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a redemption for all.”
