John Colquhoun - Spiritual Comfort, Part 3

"3. Be persuaded to trust accordingly in Jesus Christ, for all the inestimable blessings and comforts of a free salvation, to yourselves in particular. Come, as unworthy, as lost sinners in yourselves. Come, not upon the ground of any qualifications in yourselves, but upon the warrant afforded you by the gospel-offer, and intrust your whole salvation to the compassionate Saviour. Rely, with unsuspecting confidence, on the faithful, the dear Redeemer, for the enjoyment of all that is offered to you, in the glorious gospel. There, all the love of His heart is, with Himself, offered to you. Trust therefore that He loves you. His consummate righteousness is granted to you; rely upon it for all your title to eternal life. All His salvation is also presented to you, for your acceptance; trust therefore that His right hand will save you. Since it is all offered to you, as a free gift of grace, trust that He will save you in a way of boundless grace.... O that ye knew what a comfort it is, that the great Redeemer hath made it your duty, to trust at all times in Him. He commands you to trust in Him, with all your heart. Therefore you may be assured that He will not deceive your confidence nor disappoint your expectation.”
