Every one born into this world is a bankrupt sinner, owing to God a great debt, having nothing of his own with which to pay Him. There is no such thing with God as "liquidation by arrangement." There are no assets to divide. It is just as if a merchant owed five million dollars to his creditors, and he had not one cent to hand over to them.
In the midst of man's extremity and need, Christ comes in. He goes to the cross. God is satisfied with His own well beloved Son and with His finished work. Christ is raised; a discharge is given; the debtor who accepts it goes free.
This is salvation! This is redemption! Very simple and plain: it is God's free gift to man.
"SEEK YE THE LORD WHILE HE
MAY BE FOUND, CALL YE
UPON HIM WHILE
HE IS NEAR.”
