Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Civil Obligations of Christians In offering the following essay to the Christian brotherhood and the public, we desire to make a few prefatory remarks. The principles and truths which it sets forth arc amply sustained by the Word of God, and we trust will commend themselves to the cordial reception of all who love the Lord Jesus Christ. We use the term providence to indicate "the care and superintendence which God exercises over his creatures." This is both general and special; general, with reference to the world at large; special, with reference to the people of God. "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the judge; he putteth down one, and setteth up another" "Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee" (O God), "the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain." But he will punish wicked nations; "For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them." (Ps. lxxv., 6-8.) The Lord would not permit David to build the temple because he had been a man of blood: "And David said to Solomon : My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God; but the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars; thou shall not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight." (1 Chron. xxii., 7, 8.) And shall Christians imbrue their hands in the blood of their fellow-men, and still constitute a part of that temple which is filled by the Spirit of Christ?
