Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Heavenly Character; Or the Wisdom Which Is From Above: A Funeral Sermon, Preached at the Burial of Mrs. Abba Horton, in Christ Church, Ballston Spa, N. Y., December 24, 1850 Above all, as an earnest of success, the Spirit of Grace is promised, to work in us "both to will and to do." Thus have we sufficient evidence of what is the will of God respecting us. In connection with these truths, we must also bring into view the other, that is, the human side of the picture. While such is the will of God respecting us, it has been from the beginning the miserable propensity of man, acting under the influence of the spirit of darkness, to mar, deface and ultimately destroy the image of God in himself. Ever since he was placed in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by the most bountiful provisions for his happiness, he has followed, to a greater or less degree, the motions of the same evil one, who there misled him and spread desolation and gloom over the bright world wherein his Creator had located his existence. Those forms and pictures of holiness, those delineations of the perfect character which the divine pencil has sketched and held out before us, are marred, if not in themselves, in the results which God designs they shall effect in us.
