Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Government and Administration: A Sermon Preached on the Sabbath Succeeding the Secession Riots in New York City, July 19, 1863 The teachings of the Gospel are intended to touch a man at every point. They are designed to reach all human relations. They instruct men in regard not only to personal duty to God, but, as a part of that, their duty to the family, the neighborhood, the nation and the world. Nothing lies beyond their sphere. The Gospel is intended to go with a man not simply into his place of prayer, but into his counting room and his workshop. In this wide sweep had the Bible not treated of a man´s civil and political relations, had it given no directions how to regulate his conduct as a citizen, the ommission would have been marked and noticible. While so much is dependent upon these civil relations, when all his personal and domestic, nay, even all his religious comfort and prosperity are so in-woven with his political condition, it would have been strange had he no clear instruction in regard to the Government under which he lived. But the Gospel is complete, nothing is wanting. We find the duties of citizenship, a man´s relations to the Government over him, accurately defined and clearly exhibited. I ask your thoughts to a consideration of these teachings as they are given in Romans 13: 1 - 5. "Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God, and they that resist shall receive unto themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou not then be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
