When the original author of that Sermon ‘preached’ that—and he repeated it many times—he would just read the text to the congregation ... and the front of the church would fill with people seeking forgiveness even before he would finish!
They have nothing to seek forgiveness for, and no fear for their eternal souls. How nice for them! NOT!
