Heads-Up
--- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO
GREAT SALVATION by
the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving
poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -God's
unmerited favor-
from our sins and from Hell:
"But
how may you know that any doctrine is that of THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD?"
I answer, "If it exalts the glory of the grace of God as the
sole and entire cause of salvation, if it humbles the creature and
excludes all boasting, if it provides for the honor of God's holy law
and justice, if it is a solid and sure ground of strong consolation
to the saints, and if it is a doctrine according to godliness.
These are the infallible rules whereby you may form your judgment of
the truth of the doctrines you preach. No principle can be true which
is not calculated to sub-serve and secure those important ends. It
will be your wisdom to examine well all sentiments in divinity; and,
according as you find them agreeing or disagreeing with those rules,
so mind that you embrace them or reject them"
-John
Brine, 1750 A.D
