James Smith (Puritan)

the gospel reveals ...
a Savior - in whom we must trust
a Sovereign - whom we must obey
a Priest - on whose atonement we must rest
a Prophet - from whom we must learn
a Friend - in whose love we must confide
a Brother - from whom we may expect
a Father - whose authority we must revere
an Apostle - whose mission we must proclaim
an Advocate -to whom we must commit our cause

the gosple...
flows from the free love, rich grace, and abundant mercy of our God
is founded in the Savior's person, mediation (work on our behalf) and death
and only becomes effectual through the revelation, operation,
and application of the Holy Spirit. By this Spirit, He creates faith and
grants it, imparts love and excites hope and when accompanied by His
blessing - the gospel is received in demonstration and power.
