Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christ Crucified, the Sum and Substance of the Scriptures: A Sermon Preached by the Rev. Rowland Hill, A. M. On Whitsunday, June 8, 1783, at the Opening of Surrey Chapel
Ye who were once dead in trespasses and sins, who thought of nothing but those ways that lead to death, ye know that the Redeemer having bought you by his blood, has wrought that change upon your hearts by the - living principle of his grace within, which constrains all your sins to fall before you, as Dagon fell before the ark. While, like the worshippers of Baal of old, humbled under a sense of their idolatry, ye cast away your idols, and cry The Lord he is the God, the Lord be is the God, 1 Kings xviii. 39. Need ye therefore any longer tedious lectures from the dry moralist to tell you to do good? Or rather will it not appear, being so gloriously changed by the power of God, ye find such freedom and delight in the ways of holi ness, that ye need rather a bridle than a spur? It is with the liberty of sons, not with the bondage of slaves, ye are taught to obey.
