The Penitent Pardoned (Puritan Writings)

It was once said that most of the beds in mental hospitals could be emptied if people could find forgiveness. Thankfully, Psalm 130:4 tells us, "There is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared." There is a pardon for the penitent, and therein is the good news of the gospel.

In this scarce Puritan work based on Psalm 32:5, Christopher Love, a 17th century London preacher, explains the duty of Christians to confess their sins and the faithfulness of God to forgive them. And, as the psalmist said, "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity" (Psalm 32:2).
