The greatest blessing anyone can have is remission, or forgiveness, of sin. Beloved Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs shows just that, spending this entire work expositing Psalm 32:1: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”
In this treatise gospel grace is stated rightly; the justice of God is cleared; the mercy of God is exalted; poor, trembling sinners are encouraged to come to the blood of Christ for pardon; and presumptuous sinners, facing an eternity in hell, are awakened out of their deadly deluding dreams of heaven. In Christ, sin is condemned and punished, and the believing sinner is justified, pardoned, and acquitted. If you prize peace with God, pick up this book and pray for light to direct you into a distinct knowledge of this gospel truth.
“The blessedness of any man or woman does not consist in the enjoyment of anything in all this world, but in the free grace of God forgiving sin!”
—Jeremiah Burroughs

About the Author
Jeremiah Burroughs (1599–1646)
While Jeremiah Burroughs was loved for his preaching and gentle spirit, he was persecuted for his nonconformity to the Church of England. Forced to flee to Rotterdam, Holland for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to congregations in Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest in England.
