Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theology, Explained and Defended in a Series of Sermons, Vol. 3 of 5 The difference between the two interpretations which I have specified, will therefore be found ultimately to be immaterial: the.one referring the phrase to the type, and the other to the thing typified. On either scheme, it must be admitted, that the apostle declares mankind to be saved by regeneration. Regeneration is therefore that event in the gracious providence of God, by which we become the subjects of faith, entitled to justification, and consequently heirs of salvation. In the consideration of this subject, two things are in the text presented to our inquiry: I. The Agent of this work; and, II. The work itself. The Agent in the work of renewing the human mind is declared in this passage to be the Holy Ghost. Two things are naturally presented to us by the mention of a person sustaining so important a part in the economy of salvation; a part, without which all that has preceded would be wholly defective, and exists to no valuable purpose. I. His character; and, II. His agency. The former of these shall now engage our attention; and my own views concerning it will be sufficiently expressed in this position. The Holy Ghost is a divine person. It is well known to those who hear me, that various classes of men who profess to receive the Bible as the rule of their faith, have denied this proposition; viz. those who deny the Deity of our Saviour. The scheme of denial, however, has in this case been materially different from that in the other. In that, Deity was the object denied; in this, personality. On all hands it is agreed, that the Holy Ghost is acknowledged by Trinitarians to be a divine person; but by Unitarians only a divine attribute; asserted sometimes to be the wisdom, but usually the power of God.
