Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Truth and Righteousness: Baccalaureate Sermon to the Class of ´92 Heaven and earth were made for each other. The same infinite God created both. I am not here to tell you when He made them, or how He made them, but the fact upon which I insist is that He did make them by methods and processes of His own choice. He linked them together in sympathy and interest. It was His evident intention that each should sustain fixed and definite relations to the other. Earth received love, care and counsel from heaven, and gave back love, reverence and loyalty to heaven. Each needed the other. When sin came and threatened to divorce earth from heaven, God would not allow the two worlds to be separated. When the bonds by which they were first joined together failed, He replaced the broken bonds by others that were better and stronger. If a planet should break away from its orbit, and go wildly rushing through space, disaster would be almost certain. There might be a "crush of worlds." Now earth was torn from the spiritual orbit in which it was intended to move; but Jesus Christ came in our own human form and nature, to arrest a guilty world in its retreat from God, bringing it back from its wanderings, and restore it to fellowship with heaven. It is said that "there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." (Luke xv : 10.) The angels are bright and happy spirits that not only sing and soar and shine in heaven, but they watch the conflicts and struggles of earth, and when any sinner repents they rejoice. You and I do not see them, but they see us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
