To mtw. God unreconciled is a thing , i
too dnadtul to be expe t. d wilh com- *
posure of mind. Every man hopes
that, by some means or o her, this fate
shall not br his own. Anil tflere are
n ;t a few who build their hope Upon
the mercy o! God, in a manner essen
tial!) defective.
Is this hope in divine mercy enter
tained without any express reference
to Jesus Christ, and his redemption?

only bv those who openly reject the I
l>i; !e, whom I do not ikav addr ss, but
al:o by those who acknowledge its au
•ligrity. No a heathen, to whom -ft.
itc»ht o revcl-ition has o. t be*.n given,
ir.u?t do the best he c. n, with such ob
score and faint probabilities that God
may pr.rtfon sin, as the light of nature
affords. But o * reuse is very differen .
God has g veu us a suraucc in the gos
pel that he ca.. righteously and will
g ciouslv forgive sitm-rs their iniqui
ties, through the perfect satil c inn
aliich his son has i n^-red to his Ln
and justice. But the gospel as clearly
assures us that tins foigiventsa is on»
ly hesto*-.cd upon those who confess
their guil y and lost condition, who ask
for mercy in the name of the trucilied
Redeemer made kno»vn un o them, and
..ho asc’ibe all the glory of their sal
vation to his obedience, death snJ in
tei cession. Without this, no man, un
der the dispensation of the gospel, is
warranted to hope th t God will accept
him. To indulge such a hope in hea
venly mercy, processing to believe the
bible, and yet disregarding the Sa
vior, is most absurd md inconsistent.
Indeed it is high presumption, and dar
ing rebellion against God. Let tho.se
who are conscious of it beware of the
consequences of their folly.
But of those who hope in the mercy
ol God, while they are manifestly des
titute of the spirit and practice of r*li
igion, a large majority will deny that
they are chargeable with ihe conduct
[above desciibcd. However indispos
ed to renounce their sins, they have no
objt ctiou to own that they are sinners.
Negligent ol th<- laws ol Christ, they
prole ss a great regard to his atonement;
a d claim to be true bvlievtrs in him,
because they have formed the habit ot
confiding srrongly in his mcri s.
Through wilful ignorance of the truth,
r hardy opposition to it, they call Je
sus Christ their Lord & tficir Saviour,
whde in reality they prefer this v .in
world to him and his salvation. Let
such persons be stnoudy admonished
that they have nt thing ol Chiistiaoiiy
but the name. The scriptures - peak
of a fai;h which is dead, being alone.
That faith which is connected with
pardon is a powerful, active prmciplt.
It works by love, punfi s toe heart,
and overcomes the world. An indo
lent recumbency upon the mercy ol
God, and the n ents ot Christ, is no
more like this holy and precious faith,
titan a dead c rpsc in like a living man.
In vain do men (rust in iht mercy of
God, while they insult thet very mercy |
by their ingratitude and impt tutence.
In v.*in do they bat of their entire:
lepend.nce upon Christ, while they1
ii terlv refuse to have him to reign as1
the Miveieign of tbeir affections and
the r lives. They may so p. rvert the
gospel as to proclaim themselves the
champions ot the doctrine ol grac at d
.1 fne salva.iou. Hut by their works
they dishonour the son ol God, airj re*
present hi in as the minister ot It
vill appear one day to be the irrevcr
nble decree of Heaven, that with uc
loliness no than shall see the lace of '
