Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Person of Christ: His Perfect Humanity a Proof of His Divinity, With Impartial Testimonies to His Character
Blessed is he who from the heart can believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and the fountain of salvation. True faith is an act of God wrought in the soul by the Holy Spirit, who reveals Christ to us in his true char acter, as Christ has revealed the Father. Faith, with its justifying, sanctifying, and saving power, is inde pendent of science and learning, and may be kindled even in the heart of a little child. It is the peculiar glory of the Redeemer and his religion to be coextensive with humanity itself, without distinction of sex, age, nation, or race. His saving grace ?ows and over?ows to all and for all, on the simple condition of faith.
This fact, however, does not supersede the necessity of thought and argument. Revelation, although above nature and above reason, is not against nature or against reason. On the contrary, nature and the super natural, as has been well said by a distinguished New England divine, constitute together the one system of God. 1 Christianity satisfies the deepest intellectual as well as moral wants of man, who is created in the image and for the glory of God. It is the revelation of truth as well as of life.
