Who Will Reach Heaven? I Do Not Know, But I Am Certain That No One Will Be There Who Does Not Feel At Home.

Christianity Is The Greatest Civilizing, Moulding, Uplifting Power On This Globe.

We Say Then, That Christianity Is Adapted To The Intellect, Because Its Spirit Coincides With That Of True Philosophy; Because It Removes The Incubus Of Sensuality And Low Vice; Because Of The Place It Gives To Truth; Because It Demands Free Inquiry; Because Its Mighty Truths And Systems Are Brought Before The Mind In The Same Way As The Truths And Systems Of Nature; Because It Solves Higher Problems Than Nature Can; And Because It Is So Communicated As To Be Adapted To Every Mind.

Faith, Then, Generically, Is Confidence In A Personal Being. Specifically, Religious Faith Is Confidence In God, In Every Respect And Office In Which He Reveals Himself. As That Love Of Which God Is The Object Is Religious Love, So That Confidence In Him As A Father, A Moral Governor, A Redeemer, A Sanctifier, In All The Modes Of His Manifestation, By Which We Believe Whatever He Says Because He Says It, And Commit Ourselves And All Our Interests Cheerfully And Entirely Into His Hands, Is Religious Faith.

Faith Then, In Its Relation To Salvation, Is That Confidence By Which We Accept It As A Free Gift From The Saviour, And Is The Only Possible Way In Which The Gift Of God Could Be Appropriated.
