Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Porter Rhetorical Society: In the Theological Seminary, Andover, September 11, 1832 It was of that same benevolence in which the entire scheme and method of our salvation originated, to make preaching die chief means of converting and sanctifying men. If God, having given the world a plain record of his will, had left each one dependent on his own private perusal of that record for all the advantage he was to derive from it, how slowly would the business of saving men have proceeded? All unlettered persona must have perished through ignorance; and the rest of mankind, with few exceptions, would doubtless have given the sacred writing too little attention, to gain even the most general knowledge of its character. The fact is unquestionable, that what knowledge of the Scriptures actually exists among men, is almost exclusively the direct or indirect result of preaching. Had there been no preaching, where should we find readers of the word? A few might have procured a Bible as a curiosity, and a few by reading it might have become wise unto salvation, but the mass of men would scarcely have known of the existence of such a volume. - Faith Cometh by hearing, not often by reading. It hath pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. It is needless to continue inquiry when the will of God is known. We have heard the high decree, that it is by preaching that God will save men. This is decisive. It is ours now not to speculate about the expediency of the measure, but to fall in with it, as we do with those other ordinances of God which appoint the means of our temporal well-being. To the question, how is the soul to be saved, the world to be converted, the compendious answer is - an answer from the mouth of God - by preaching.
