Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief Exposition of the Doctrine of the New Church: Which Is Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Apocalypse Council of Trent hath determined and declared concerning Original Sin and Justification" 3. From the Council of Trent, concerning Original Sin. (a) That Adam, by his transgression, experienced an entire change and depravation of nature, both in body and soul; and that the ill effects of Adam´s transgression were not confined to himself, but also extended to his posterity; and that it not only transmitted death and corporal sufferings upon all mankind, but likewise sin, which is the death of the soul, Sess. v. 1,2. (b) That this sin of Adam, which originally was a single transgression, and has been transmitted by propagation, and not by imitation, is so implanted in the nature of every man, as to be his own, and cannot be done away by any other means than by the merits of the only Saviour our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath reconciled us to God by His blood, being made unto us righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, Sess. v. 3. (c) That, by the transgression of Adam, all men lost their innocence, and became unclean, and by nature the children of wrath, Sess. vi. chap. 1. 4. Concerning Justification. (a) That our heavenly Father, the Father of Mercies, sent Christ Jesus his Son into the world, in the blessed fullness of time, as well to the Jews who were under the law, as to the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, that they might all lay hold of righteousness, and receive the adoption of sons. Him God offered to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, not only for our sins, but likewise for the sins of the whole world, Sess. vi. chap. 2. (b) Nevertheless, all do not receive the benefit of His death, but only they to whom the merit of His passion is communicated; so that, unless they are born again in Christ, they can never be justified, Sess. vi. chap. 3. (c) That the beginning of justification is to be derived from the preventing grace of God through Christ Jesus, that is, from His call, Sess. vi. chap. 5. (c) That men are disposed to righteousness, when, being stirred up by divine grace, and conceiving faith by hearing, they arc freely moved towards God, believing those things to be true which arc divinely revealed and promised; and especially this, that the ungodly are justified by God through His grace, through redemption, which is by Christ Jesus; and when, being convinced of sin from the fear of divine justice, by which they are profitably disquieted, they are encouraged to hope, and to trust that God, for Christ´s sake, will be propitious to them, Sess. vi. chap. 6.
