The Door Of God’s Mercy

What Self-righteous Persons Take To Themselves, Is The Same Work That Christ Was Engaged In When He Was In His Agony And Bloody Sweat, And When He Died On The Cross, Which Was The Greatest Thing That Ever The Eyes Of Angels Beheld. Christ Could Accomplish Other Parts Of This Work Without Cost; But This Part Cost Him His Life, As Well As Innumerable Pains And Labors. Yet This Is The Part Which Self-righteous Persons Go About To Accomplish For Themselves.

All Truth Is Given By Revelation, Either General Or Special, And It Must Be Received By Reason. Reason Is The God-given Means For Discovering The Truth That God Discloses, Whether In His World Or His Word. While God Wants To Reach The Heart With Truth, He Does Not Bypass The Mind.

Resolved, Never To Do Any Manner Of Thing, Whether In Soul Or Body, Less Or More, But What Tends To The Glory Of God; Nor Be, Nor Suffer It, If I Can Avoid It.

He Who Does Not Know Him, Knows Nothing Else As It Truly Is.

Whatever In Christ Had The Nature Of Satisfaction, Was By Virtue Of The Suffering Or Humiliation That Was In It; But Whatever Had The Nature Of Merit, Was By Virtue Of The Obedience Or Righteousness There Was In It.
