OH, GLORIOUS GOSPEL!

​SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH.

Through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, these and all other blessings of the gospel become ours. Fear is lost, judgment is taken away, and instead of all that, we instantaneously become children of God. And this may be obtained by all sinners here present.
