• But it is all-important to see and hold fast the fact, that the gospel presents the person of Christ, and not His work only. The soul is called to “believe on the Lord Jesus.” This could not purge the conscience without the shedding of His blood; it could not give peace or liberty, unless He were not only delivered up for our offenses, but raised for our justification. But it is on the Lord Jesus that we believe. (“Acts 16:19-31” by W. Kelly)

(“Acts 16:19-31” by W. Kelly)
