Mr Marshall, author of a treatise on Sanctification, in his early years, was under great distress for a long
time, through a consciousness of guilt, and a dread of the Divine displeasure. At last, mentioning his case to Dr Thomas Goodwin, and lamenting the greatness of his sins, that able divine replied, “You have forgotten the greatest sin of all, the sin of unbelief, in refusing to believe in Christ, and rely on His atonement and righteousness for your acceptance with God.” This word in season banished his fears. He looked to Jesus, and was filled with joy and peace in believing!
