wicked, and unworthy. We are to remember that sin- ners are those He came into the world to save, and that if we feel ourselves such, it is well. Happy is he who really comprehends that one principal qualification for coming to Christ is a deep sense of sin !
Finally, if by the grace of God we really understand, the glorious truth that sinners are those whom Christ came to call, let us take heed that we never forget it. Let us not dream that true Christians can ever attain such a state of perfection is this world, as not to need the mediation and intercession of Jesus. Sinners we are in the day we first come to Christ. Poor needy sinners we continue to be so long as w^e live, drawing all the grace we have every hour out of Christ's fulness. Sin- ners we shall find ourselves in the hour of our death, and shall die as much indebted to Christ's blood, as in the day we first believed.
