Sin Completely Removed
Essex Remembrancer
Jeremiah 50:17-20
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria has devoured him…


I. SIN IS COMPLETELY REMOVED, IN THAT THE GUILT OF IT IS ALL FORGIVEN, AND THE PUNISHMENT DUE TO IT ENTIRELY REMITTED.

II. SIN IS COMPLETELY REMOVED, IN THAT THE SINNER IS PERFECTLY RESTORED TO THE LOVE AND FAVOUR OF GOD.

III. SIN IS COMPLETELY REMOVED, IN THAT THE PARDONED SINNER OBTAINS A BLESSED RESTORATION OF CHARACTER, STATE, AND HOPE.

IV. THE WAY IN WHICH SO COMPLETE A PARDON AND RESTORATION OF GUILTY SINNERS IS EFFECTED.

V. THIS COMPLETE FORGIVENESS OF SIN IS ALONE WORTHY OF GOD, AND SUFFICIENT FOR MAN.

VI. THIS COMPLETE FORGIVENESS IS NECESSARY FOR US ALL, AND OUGHT TO BE MOST EARNESTLY SOUGHT BY US ALL.
