3 inquiries of the economy of Grace

"If there is no salvation from sin before death, I expect to be lost. Here, then, to make the whole subject plain as possible, in the light in which it is apprehended by my own mind, I will make three inquiries. 

I. Has God, in the economy of His grace, made provision to save His

people from their sins? 

II. If such provision has been made, can Christians avail themselves of it in this life? 

III. In what way may the provisions of God's grace become available, to save His people from their sins? 

I find it said to Joseph, by the angel, in relation to the promised Messiah. Mat. 1:21. "Thou shalt call His name Jesus:" (i.e., Savior) "for He shall save his people from their sins." 

For this very purpose, then, He is my Savior, to save me from my sins; and this is just the Savior that I need. 

When John the Baptist pointed out Christ, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." 

This is what I need, 

a Savior to take away my sins."
