When ever there is crime committed, no one ever thinks that a dead person committed the crime. The reason for this is obvious, dead people to not break the law. When you go past a cemetery all you see is grave stones. Not one single dead body can commit any crime against man or God. If you are a Chr... Read More

Is the word Justification always used in a forensic sense in this argument, or also in a moral and physical? The former we affirm, the latter we deny, against the Romanists. I. As in the chain of salvation Justification follows Vocation, Rom. 8:30, and is everywhere set forth as the primary effect o... Read More

The early part of the Epistle to the Romans is the leadin... Read More

We may contrast the communion to which John in the first chapter of his first Epistle, introduces the soul, with that which Paul gives it at the close of Rom. 8, and also with that which the same Apostle gives it at the close of Rom. 11. In Romans 1 - 8, the Apostle is instructing us in the secret o... Read More

In reading the Holy Scriptures we should remember that they do not simply contain a rule of life and conduct, but that they are a revelation of God, so as to lead us into the knowledge of Him in Jesus Christ, and thus into life eternal.

Romans 1, 5. Deeply and justly prizing our Authorized Version, yet alterations are at times well suggested--as on this verse, which should rather be, "By whom we have received grace and apostleship to the obedience of faith among all nations."

They learn, through the Church, the manifold w... Read More
