Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse: Before the Hudson River Baptist Association, Delivered at Their Annual Meeting, Held in the City of Schenectady, Tuesday, June 16, 1835 No writer of the Bible has insisted more earnestly than did Paul on the great fact of the Divine sovereignty. He saw the plan of Infinite wisdom perfect in all its parts, and immutable in all its results, stretching away over the whole field of his labors; reaching over every country, and extending through all ages, the unchanged and unchangeable counsel of God. He rejoiced in it. He rested upon it. Yet it did not at all lower his views of human duty, nor with him did the Divine agency supersede the workings of an inferior and mortal instrumentality. He knew that, with all his counsel, nothing could be but as God ordered it; and with all his labor, nothing could prosper but as God wrought it. And yet, on the other hand, he saw that the commandments of God to man were part of his councils for man, and that one of the modes in which the Most High would work was his sending man to work. While looking at the cause of his Master on the one side, he was therefore seen soaring away, as on the pinions of seraphim, into the regions of fathomless wisdom, and his theme was the election of God, sure and indefeasible. Looking at that same cause under an opposite aspect, he saw the law of God and the duty of man, rising up to cast their shadow as over the whole breadth of the earth.
