Hints on Human Conduct in Various Relations
Excerpt from Hints on Human Conduct in Various Relations
It is of great importance, rightly to discern the alliance between nature and revelation, and to be equally disinclined to flatter humanity by over rating its inherent principles, and to encourage fanaticism by a wild endeavour to subvert them. Without the atonement of Christ, and the appli cation of his sacrifice by the Holy Spirit, the condition of man is confessed to be hopeless. His nature is defiled. The effect of the ex~ piation is to redeem what was lost, - the work of grace is to purify what was corrupt. The be liever exists in a probationary state. He begins to be relieved from the burden of indwelling sin, -to put off the old man, and to put on the new man,-to recover not only the energy and purity of his original nature, but to attain to a yet more exalted state than that from which he fell, and to the hope of a still more intimate communion with the author of his being.
