Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Merely Amiable, Moral Man, No Christian: A Discourse Mark X: 21. - Then Jesus beholding him, loved him. There has long been a warm dispute whether man in his fallen state is wholly destitute of true religion. Some have advocated the affirmative, and many the negative of the question. The greatest objection, which has ever been urged against the doctrine of the entire moral depravity of man, before he undergoes a spiritual renovation, has been taken from certain agreeable principles, still remaining in human nature, such as sympathy, pity, parental and filial affections. Correct knowledge then of these principles is of high importance, as it has an immediate bearing upon our religious character, and the conditions of our salvation. The passage which has been read, naturally introduces this subject for examination. The person to whom the text refers was a young man and a ruler, probably a member of the Jewish Sanhedrim, the highest court then of their nation. He was strictly moral, and in outward deportment obedient to the laws of God ; as it appears from his own testimony and from the Saviour´s treatment of him. When a few of the precepts of the moral law as a specimen of the whole were named, the young ruler replied, "all these have I kept from my youth up ; what lack I yet?" Had he lived in open violation of the divine law, it can hardly be supposed he would have dared to make this broad assertion of perfect innocence before our Lord.
