Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854. Excerpt: ... LECTUEE LXV. ROMANS VIII. 32. "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"

The first encouragement then might be addressed to all; for it might be embodied in the very first overtures of the gospel; and these should be laid before all for their acceptance, on the moment of which a reconciliation with heaven ensues, and God is upon their side. The second encouragement is for those who have found and tasted that God is gracious, in the change that by grace He has wrought upon themselves; in the pledges which they have already received of a coming glory in heaven, even by a conscious preparation for it going on within their own heart and upon their own history on earth; in the first-fruits of the Spirit upon their souls, and by which the evidence of God's friendship has been carried forward from promises to gifts, from those promises which they relied on at the moment of their first believing, to those gifts wherewith even in this life the believer is privileged. Now, it so happens that this very distinction is still more obviously spread before us in the 32d and 33d verses; for instead of being enveloped under the covering of one verse, as in the 31st, which we have already attempted to expound, we find that of the two following verses the former is addressed to a belief which may or may not have as yet been accompanied with experience; and the latter ...
