“All His people, or, as it is elsewhere expressed, all that believe in Him, He will save from all their sins; from original and actual, past and present sin, of the flesh and of the spirit. Through faith that is in Him, they are saved both from the guilt and from the power of it.First from the guilt of all past sin. For whereas all the world is guilty before God; in so much that should he be extreme to mark what is done amiss, there is none that could abide it: and whereas by the law is only the knowledge of sin, but no deliverance from it; so that by fulfilling the deeds of the law, no flesh can be justified: now the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ, is manifested unto all that believe.”“Thus have they peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. They rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And the love of God is shed abroad in their hearts, through the Holy Spirit, which is given unto them.” “Again, through this faith they are saved from the power of sin, as well as from the guilt of it. So the apostle declares, Ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abides in Him sins not. Again, Little children, let no man deceive you. He that commits sin is of the devil. Whosoever believes is born of God. And whosoever is born of God does not commit sin, for his seed remains in Him: and He cannot sin, because He is born of God. Once more, We know that whatsoever is born of God sins not: but he that is begotten of God, keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.” “So that he who is thus justified or saved by faith, is indeed born again. He is born again of the Spirit unto a new life, which is hid with Christ in God. And as a new-born babe he gladly receives the sincere milk of the Word, and grows thereby: going on in the might of the Lord his God, from faith to faith, from grace to grace, until at length he come unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.”
