Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lecture on the Shorter Catechism, Vol. 2 of 2: Of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America Addressed to Youth In the following Lecture, we are first to consider that "the duty which God requires of man, is obedience to his revealed will." Hitherto, in our Catechism, our attention has been directed to matters of faith; although I have endeavoured, through the whole, to give practical direction and application to all that has been said. At an early period of these Lectures, I made it a point to show you the importance of a right creed in religion; and that the maxim so often heard from the lovers of lax principles, "that it is no matter what a man believes, if his life be good," is a compound of absurdity and falsehood. It would certainly not be worth our while to search laboriously after truth, if, when found, it were of no practical utility; no better than falsehood itself, as to its influence on action. The fact is, that in the sight of God, as I have heretofore shown you, principle is every thing; and principle refers to the understanding as well as to the heart. It is consequently of infinite importance that our faith, as to the essentials of religion, be right; because this is the foundation and vital spring of duty.
