Do Not For A Moment Suppose That

All My Theology Is Reduced To This Narrow Compass - "jesus Christ Came Into The World To Save Sinners."

It Is As Natural And Reasonable For A Dependent Creature To Apply To Its Creator For What It Needs, As For A Child Thus To Solicit The Aid Of A Parent Who Is Believed To Have The Disposition And Ability To Bestow What It Needs.

In Reviewing The Most Mysterious Doctrines Of Revelation, The Ultimate Appeal Is To Reason, Not To Determine Whether She Could Have Discovered These Truths; Not To Declare Whether, Considered In Themselves, They Appear Probable; But To Decide Whether It Is Not More Reasonable To Believe What God Speaks Than To Confide In Our Own Crude And Feeble Conceptions. No Doctrine Can Be A Proper Object Of Our Faith, Which Is Not More Reasonable To Believe Than To Reject.

It Is Commonly Said That Men Are Forward To Believe Whatever Is Connected With Their Own Interest. This In Common Cases Is True; But It Is Also True, That When Some Very Great And Unexpected Good News Is Brought To Us, We Find It Very Difficult To Credit It.

Men Are More Accountable For Their Motives, Than For Anything Else; And Primarily, Morality Consists In The Motives, That Is In The Affections.
