Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the Late, Rev. Stephen Charnock, Vol. 4 of 9: With a Prefatory Dedication and Memoir All former providences were ultimately in order to the bringing a Mediator into the world, and for the promotion of his glory; then surely all the providences of God shall be in order to the perfecting the glory of Christ in that mystical body, whereof Christ is head, and wherein his affection and his glory are so much concerned. See the proof of this by a scripture or two: All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies, Psal. 25. 10. Not one path, but all the works and motions; not one particular act or passage of providence, but the whole tract of his proceedings; not only those which are more smooth and pleasant, but those which are more rugged and bitter. All mercy and truth, suitable to that affection he bears in his heart to them, and suitable to the declaration of that affection he hath made in his promise. There is a contexture and a friendly connection of kindness and faithfulness in every one of them. They both embrace each other in every motion of God towards them. As mercy made the covenant, so truth shall perform it. And there shall be as much mercy as truth in all God´s actings towards those that keep it. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose, Rom. 8. 28 : we know; we do not conjecture or guess so, but we have an infallible assurance of it. All things, even the most frightful, and so those that have, in respect of sense, nothing but gall and wormwood in them; work together; they all conspire with an admirable harmony and unanimous consent for a christian´s good. One particular act may seem to work the harm of the church, as one particular act may work to the good of wicked men: but the whole series and frame of things combine together for the good of those that are affectionate to him. Both the lance that makes us bleed, and the healing remedy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
