“Ah! My hearers, I wish I had a thousand tongues with which to proclaim this one
truth! As I have not, I ask the tongues of all those who know its preciousness to
tell it forth.

Tell the sick, tell the dying, tell the young, tell the old, tell sinners of every
degree and every class, that salvation is not by what they do, nor by what they 
feel, but that it all lies in that Man who was once crucified, but who now lives
in the power of an endless life before the eternal throne.

And if they say, ‘What mean you by this?’ tell them that this man is none other 
than God over all, blessed forever, and that He condescended to become man, and 
take upon Himself the sin of His people, and to be punished for their guilt, so 
that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life.

The just for the unjust, He died to bring us to God. This is the gospel– the core,
the kernel, the marrow of the entire Bible.

You may say of all the book besides that it is but folds and wrappings; but this
is what it wraps up—_substitution by Christ_.

Believe this truth. Believe it as a doctrine, but, better still, cast your souls
on it, and say, ‘If it be so, then will I trust in the power of him who loved, and
lived, and died for sinners that I might go free.'”
