Excerpt from The Works of the Late Rev. Robert Murray McCheyne, Minister of St. Peter''s Church, Dundee, Vol. 2 of 2: Sermons
There was once a partition wall between you and God; but Christ hath cast it down. God was once angry but his anger is turned away from the blessed path. In Christ he is ever well pleased.
