Essex Remembrancer 1 Peter 1:17-21 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man's work… I. CONSIDER, WITH GRATEFUL EMOTION, THE MERCIFUL AND IMPORTANT FACT OF MAN'S REDEMPTION. 1.

II. CONSIDER THE UTTER INADEQUACY OF HUMAN MEANS TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS GREAT REDEMPTION. III. THE EFFICACIOUS MEANS WHEREBY THIS GREAT REDEMPTION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. Learn — 1. The necessity of faith. 2. Beware of entertaining unscriptural views of redemption. (Essex Remembrancer.)
