A SOLID FOUNDATION
Some
men preach the cross as though it were an effort on the part of God to save
sinners. We are told that, God has done all he could and now it is in the
sinner's hands to make his work effectual. Such preaching is not good news. At
best, it is only good advice. This is no atonement, but only an attempt to
atone. This is no ransom, but only a feeble effort to ransom. This is no
redemption, but only a stab at redemption. I preach no cooperative redemption.
The foundation of our faith is Christ obtained eternal redemption for us. If
the Son of God died for me, I am as certain for heaven as if I were already
there!
