The very remedy for all the maladies-',

Back to Man's religion & God's religion 10

Grace only suits those who are altogether
guilty and filthy. Grace is completely opposed
to works in all its shapes and bearings.

Thus no one can really desire to taste the 
sweetness and enjoy the preciousness of grace, 
who has not "seen an end of all perfection" in 
the creature, and is brought to know and feel 
in the conscience, that his good works would 
damn him as equally with his bad works. 

When grace is thus opened up to the soul, 
it sees that grace flows only through the 
Saviour's blood—and that grace . . .
super abounds over all the abounding of sin,
heals all backsliding,
covers all transgressions,
lifts up out of darkness,
pardons iniquity, 
and is just the very remedy for all the
maladies which we groan under!
