From the very gates of Hell, even to the throne of God!

Salvation is the elevation of an immortal soul from the lowest state of sin and misery, to all the glory and felicity of Heaven!
Thus will the poor and contrite soul be raised . . .
from guilt, to peace;
from sin, to holiness;
from the very gates of Hell, even to the throne of God!
It is impossible to know anything of the saving grace of God, and not be lost in wonder and praise! Profound adoration and devotion are the proper posture of a redeemed soul.
Christian! God has wrought these wondrous things for you, by taking on Himself your miseries, that you may be partakers of His glory. To view the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ aright, you must bear in mind, that “though He was rich–yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich!” 2 Corinthians 8:9
Yes, “He was made sin for you, that you might be made the righteousness of God in Him!” 2 Corinthians 5:21
O extol Him, praise Him, magnify Him, adore Him–and let all that is within you bless His holy name!
Your most sincere inquiry should be: “What shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he has done unto me?” Psalm 116:12
“Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits–who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion!” Psalm 103:1-4
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ!” Ephesians 1:3
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15
“Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might–be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” Revelation 7:12
