To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Grace does not stand upon a distant mountain-top, and call on the sinner to climb up the steep heights that he may obtain its treasures: it comes down into the valley in quest of him ; nay, it stretch- es down its band into the very lowest depths of the horrible pit to pluck him thence out of the miry clay. It does not offer to pay the ninety and nine talents if he will pay the re- maining one : it provides payment for the whole, whatever the sum may be. It docs not offer to complete the work i...f he will only begin it by doing what he can : it takes the whole work in hand from first to last, presupposing his total helplessness. It does not bargain with the sinner, that if he will throw off a few sins, and put forth some efforts after better things, it will step in and relieve him of the rest by forgiving and cleansing him: it comes up to him at once, with nothing short of complete forgiveness as the starting-point of all his efforts to be holy. It does not say, " Go, and sin no more, and I will not condemn thee : " it says at once, " Neither do I condemn thee : go, and sin no more.
