John Gill expounds on the doctrine of the pardon of sin, emphasizing that it is rooted in the satisfaction made by Christ. He explains that forgiveness is a revelation of the gospel, not attainable through natural understanding or the law, which offers no hope of pardon. Gill highlights that all sins, regardless of their nature or severity, can be forgiven through the grace of God and the blood of Christ, and he outlines the effects and properties of this pardon, including peace of conscience and access to God. He also addresses common questions regarding the nature of sin and the conditions for forgiveness, affirming that true repentance and faith are essential for experiencing God's mercy.

G.W. North emphasizes the distinction between redemption and atonement in his sermon, explaining that while redemption is foundational to both the Old and New Testaments, atonement is specific to the Old Testament and the Law given to Israel. He clarifies that atonement, which involved various sacrifices for different sins, was a temporary measure that provided coverage for sins of ignorance but did not address known sins, which required individual atonement. North highlights that the Day of Atonement was a significant event for Israel, covering a year's worth of unintentional sins, yet it was limited and retrospective in nature. He points out that the blood used for atonement was specifically chosen by God, with different sacrifices serving distinct purposes, underscoring the importance of understanding the unique role of Christ's sacrifice in the New Covenant. Ultimately, North calls for a deeper understanding of these concepts to appreciate the fullness of salvation offered through Jesus.
