Name: Spicy Pickled Plums
Ingredients: 2 lb Firm ripe plums; 4 Allspice berries; 4 sm Dried red chilies; 4 Cinnamon sticks (1"); 6 Whole cloves; 4 Blades of mace; 3 c Distilled malt vinegar; 3 c Sugar

Of late, I have heard things that I never dreamed of before, alleged even by professedly Christian ministers against the fundamental doctrines of God’s Word; and some have even dared to say that the substitution of Christ, His suffering in our stead, was not just. Then they have added that God forgives sin without any atonement whatever; but, if the first be not just, what shall I say of the second? If God continually forgives sin without taking any care of His moral government, if there be nothing done for the vindication of His justice, how shall the Judge of all the earth do right? Then the very foundations of the universe would be removed, and what would the righteous do? Depend upon this, whatever modern philosophy may say, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin,” that is to say, without an atonement and an atonement consisting of the giving up of a life of infinite value, there is no passing by of human transgression.

C.H. Spurgeon
