Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Christian's Legacy
It is only the promise Of God that gives certainty to our assurance of hope.
Thus the believer's joy is inseparable from the precious promises. We find joy to be threefold: the joy Of memory, experience, and anticipation; the retrospect, the aspect, the prospect. If it be the joy of remembrance, it is that of the promises fulfilled; if, of present realization, it is that of the promises embraced and enjoyed; if, of future foretaste, it is the joy of promises anticipated. The believer thus dwells in the promises. They irradiate his past experience, they illu minate his present path, they glorify his future estate.
Our Obedience is encouraged and stimulated by the prom ises; for all promises are both addressed to obedient souls and are the reward of doing the will of God. This is the indispensable condition of their reception and realization. Departure from God leads into deep darkness - nay, it is itself darkness that may be felt. The light of promise breaks only upon the pathway Of Obedience, which is, in fact, the very pathway also of promise. Gerizim and Ebal are the typical mountains that stand at the very gateway of life: the moun tains of blessing and of cursing, of promise and of threaten ing; and, whether we stand on the sunlit slopes of the one or under the frowning shadows of the other, depends upon our Obedience to God.

Excerpt from The Christian's Legacy
The Bible, after the strictest researches of an enlightened and inquiring age, is allowed by the wise, judicious, and thinking part of mankind, who are best acquainted with it, to be the only book in the world that can make men truly wise unto salvation. Hence, in different periods, various attempts have been made to elucidate the Scriptures; sometimes by classical and critical disquisitions, or by illustrations of ancient manners and customs; at others by extensive and voluminous commentaries, which can neither be procured nor read by a very great majority of the people; but more frequently by sermons, homilies, pamphlets, and tracts. And that many of those publications possess great merit, the author of this volume is ready to admit, as it is very remote from his desire to establish the credit of his own work by depreciating the productions of others; but it would require a greater acuteness of discernment, and a more extensive knowledge of men and things, than he gives himself the credit of possessing, to decide which of those modes has been the most successful in making manifest the unsearchable riches of Christ.
Our blessed Redeemer, who best knew the most profitable method of reading the Scriptures, has directed us to search them for a knowledge of his character and offices: John v. 39. Every hopeful mean ought, therefore, to be used for assisting Christians to reap all the benefit from the Holy Scriptures they are calculated to afford; and any attempt, if well executed, must prove of real service to the community; and should the attempt fail, the undertaker cannot fail to enjoy the pleasurable satisfaction of knowing, that, "to do good, and to communicate," he has done what he could; while the ingenuous part of mankind will make allowances the most favorable, on account of the goodness of the action. Under the influence of this sentiment, the writer of the following pages has acted in presenting them to the public eye; while his humble design has been to establish the faith, promote the comfort, and influence the practice, of the weak and feeble of Christ's flock.
