Jonah Hill’s Reviews > The Marrow of Modern Divinity > Status Update

I have decided to move this into my morning devotional reading. I’m intentionally refraining from finishing quickly like I would for other books. I’ve taken numerous notes in my journal. That’s been the beauty of the Marrow…sparking profound meditations about Jesus Christ every turn of the page.

“God made (the covenant of works) with the Israelites for no other end, than that man, being thereby convinced of his weakness, might flee to Christ. So that it was renewed only to help forward and introduce another and a better covenant; and so to be a manuduction unto Christ…to discover sin, to waken the conscience, and to convince them of their own impotency, and so drive them out of themselves to Christ.”

His explanation of the covenant at Sinai…. Yes.
I would have saved myself a lot of embarrassing conversations had I read this 2 years ago.

It’s really unfortunate that I am just now reading this for the first time. Wow.
