Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Annual Sermon on Church Polity: Preached Before the Presbytery of Rock River at Freeport, Oct, 13, 1856, Also Preached, by Request, Before the Synod of Chicago, at Princeton, Oct, 16, 1856 "The Elders whom are among you I exhort, whom am also an Elder." - I. Peter VI. The Lord Jesus Christ is the King and Head of the Church! "He hath purchased it," saith the Apostle, "with his own blood." In its visible form the Church consists of "all those, throughout the world, who profess the true religion, together with their children." According to this definition, the Church is a body of individuals associated together by the authority of Jesus Christ, and subject to his government and laws, for the purpose of divine worship and spiritual edification. Wherever men are associated together, and for whatever purpose, government and laws are indispensable; for, saith the Saviour, "It is impossible but that offences will come." This fact involves the further necessity of officers who shall apply the laws and administer the government, so as to secure the ends of their establishment, and promote the highest interests of the governed. - The Church of Jesus Christ is no exception to this universal necessity. In all ages and under all dispensations, it has had its constitution, prescribing the character and form of its government, and the character and functions of its officers. This is clearly manifest in connection with the Patriarchal and National forms of the Church under the old dispensations; and no less so in connection with its Apostolic organization under the new dispensation.
