But ours is the case of a criminal confessing his guilt and owning that he deserves the punishment, offering no extenuation and making no apology, but casting himself upon the absolute mercy of the judge, desiring him for pity's sake to look upon his misery and spare him in compassion. As condemned criminals, we stand before God when we come to him for mercy. We are not in a state of probation, as some say; our probation is over: we are already lost, "condemned already," and our only course is to cast ourselves upon the sovereign mercy of God in Christ Jesus; not uttering a syllable of claim, but simply saying, "Mercy, Lord, I crave, undeserved, mercy according to thy lovingkindness, and thy grace in Christ Jesus." "By grace are ye saved." This is true of every saint on earth and every saint in heaven, altogether true without a single sentence of qualification. No man is saved except as the result of the free favor and unbought mercy of God, not of deserving, not of debt, but entirely and altogether because the Lord "will have mercy on whom he will have mercy," and he wills to bestow his favor on the unworthy sons of men.
