Go, Chain and All!

One who was anxious about his soul's salvation was talking to a Christian Scotsman. He told him that he had felt bound by a chain, and could not go to God.
"Eh, mon!" said the Scotsman, "why not go, chain and all?"
That was good advice. If the chain of your sins binds you and you cannot break it, bring the chain with you. Cast yourself and your bonds at the feet of the Savior. He can set you free. HE is the Savior!
He does not tell you to save yourself and then come to Him. He calls you to come to Him for the salvation you need. He does not tell you to cleanse yourself from your sins and make yourself fit for His holy eye. He has died that He might cleanse you; and if you come to Him, He will make your sins as white as snow and make you fit for the glory of God.
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Isaiah 1:1818Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18).
