Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, will have no pity on you. Though he had so much love to sinners, as to be willing to lay down his life for them, and offers you the benefits of his blood, while you are in this world, and often calls upon you to accept them; yet then he will have no pity upon you.

However, to this same group of "sinners," Edwards says Jesus "loved" them so as "to be willing to lay down his life for them."
