Homilist Acts 13:38-39 Be it known to you therefore, men and brothers, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: I. THE WAY OF A SINNER'S FORGIVENESS — "Through this Man." And notice — 1. There is no other way. 2. There is no need of any other way. This "Man" satisfied all the requirements of God and man. 3. God will accept no other way. "There is none other name given under heaven whereby men must be saved." II. THE NATURE OF THE WAY OF MAN'S FORGIVENESS. 1. It is rational — consistent with justice, with mercy, with weak men, and a great God. 2. It is gracious; free from cost, easily attained, a blessed gift only to be accepted, an offer of love. 3. It is complete. It makes a man holy as well as safe. It fits for heaven as well as separates from earth. 4. It is full. There is no distinction or separation of classes or sorts: all are admitted to partake of its provisions. There is no sin it will not cover, no hardness it will not overcome. 5. It is absolute. There is no revocation or withdrawal. It was a transaction made once for all between Father and Son. (Homilist.)
