When it comes to the atonement of Christ's death, we are again presented with the importance of grasping the bigness of God, our sin, and His love.

“Repent, you must either in time or eternity, upon earth, or in hell. You cannot possibly avoid it. The question is not, Shall I repent? for that is beyond a doubt.
