104 ROMANS 5: 1—11.

← Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans

promised, commanded or threatened (unless of a strictly personal nature) although addressed originally to individuals, belongs to them only as re- presentatives of classes of men, and is designed for all of similar character and in similar circumstances, v. 23.

5. The two great truths of the gospel are, that Christ died as a sacri- fice for our sins, and that he rose again for our justification. Whosoever, from the heart, believes these truths shall be saved, v. 25. Rom. 10:9.

6. The denial of the propitiatory death of Christ, or of his resurrection from the dead, is a denial of the gospel. It is a refusing to be saved according to the method w^hich God has appointed, v. 25.
