Contending for THE FAITH
“Never
was sin seen to be more abominably sinful, than when the burden of it
was upon the shoulders of the Son of God! Would you, then, see the
true demerit of sin? Take the measure of it from the cross of
Christ!”
"To
suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of
ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of
none effect."
"To
say that we are able by our own efforts to think good thoughts or
give God spiritual obedience before we
are spiritually regenerate is to overthrow the gospel and the
faith of the universal church in all ages."
-Gospel
report by preacher John Own (1616–1683 A.D.)
