Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached Before the Convention: Of the Protestant Episcopal Church, at Richmond, in Virginia, May 3d, 1792 My Brethren, If we consider the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, as a complete system of religion, devised by infinite wisdom and goodness, for the recovery of lost mankind to the favour and image of God, we shall discover a fitness therein, every way adapted to answer the end designed; and that, in this view, the gospel is consistent with the highest reason. But if we consider it merely as a system of morals, the Gospel becomes a riddle of absurdities, and leaves us in the dark how to account for the thousandth part of its sacred contents. Whoever adverts to the tenour of the holy scriptures, will find that they uniformly represent mankind, by nature, as fallen from God; - fallen into sin, and under guilt and condemnation; - as having lost the divine favour and their own innocency, and all that original rectitude and primitive purity, which they possessed, when they first came out of the plastic hand of their Creator. On this foundation the whole scheme of salvation, through the mediation of Jesus Christ, standeth. Accordingly the gospel takes into consideration the nature of God, as a Being, holy, just and pure, as well as good, merciful and compassionate; and the nature and circumstances of man, as fallen, guilty and depraved; and makes adequate provisions for reconciling God to man, by the propitiatory sacrifice of the Redeemer; and man to God, by renovating and refining degenerate nature, by divine grace.
