“The very basis of the religion of Jesus was a triumphant belief in the real existence of a personal God.
And without that belief no type of religion can rightly appeal to Jesus to-day. Jesus was a theist, and rational theism is at the basis of Christianity.”

The neglect of them correspondingly tends to hinder and diminish assurance.”
