You know God holds out salvation to a lost world, and on what basis? Why, He is the mercy seat. You remember John says in 1 John 2:2, "He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for our sins only, but for the sins of the whole world." What is propitiation? The mercy seat. He has an abundance of mercy. And all you have to do if you want to be saved, friend, go into court with God, plead guilty, and then ask for mercy. He’s got plenty of it. That’s the way He’ll save you. There’s a pardon for you. You must claim it.
