for certain, that she had redemption

she was lost forever. She went
from place to place to hear the
preaching of the Word. Her AMI

that she heard gave her peace
She was constantly thinking that
she had something to do before she
could have redemption. She tried

then thought she must have stronger
faith, and tried to understand more
clearly the value of the blood of
Jesus still all was darkness. God
would not even have her faith as the

hath said about the blood of Jesus
from that moment, she had peace
through the blood of Jesus. Now
she knows, with certainty, that she |
has redemption through the blood |
Of Christ, even the forgiveness Of
her sins
Surely, this one case, out of many ]
thousands that might be told, shows
the Importance of the subject before
us.
Before speaking of these wonder
