Extract: The Benefits and Rejection of the Cross

Let us not profess to enjoy the benefits which the cross of Christ secures, while we refuse the rejection which that cross involves.
"HE THAT HATH THE SON
HATH LIFE;
AND HE THAT
HATH NOT THE SON
OF GOD,
HATH NOT LIFE.
THESE THINGS
HAVE I WRITTEN
UNTO YOU
THAT BELIEVE
ON THE NAME
OF THE SON OF GOD;
THAT YE MAY KNOW
THAT YE HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE."
