Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Parochial Sermons, Vol. 1 Now some one may ask, "Why is it that holiness is a necessary qualification for our being received into heaven? why is it that the Bible enjoins upon us so strictly to love, fear, and obey God, to be just, honest, meek, pure in heart, forgiving, heavenly-minded, self-denying, humble, and resigned? Man is confessedly weak and corrupt; why then is he enjoined to be so religious, so unearthly? why is he required, (in the strong language of Scripture,) to become "a new creature?" Since he is by nature what he is, would it not be an act of greater mercy in God to save him altogether without this holiness, which it is so difficult, yet, (as it appears,) so necessary for him to possess?" Now we have no right to ask question. Surely it is quite enough for a sinner to know, that a way has been opened through God´s grace for his salvation, without being informed why that why, and not another way, was chosen by Divine Wisdom. Eternal life is "the gift of God." Undoubtedly He may prescribe the terms on which He will give it; and if He has determined holiness to be the way of life, it is enough; it is not for to be the way of life, it is enough; it is not for us to inquire why He has so determined.
