One Man With Truth On His Side

Without His Resurrection The Death Of Christ Would Be Of No Avail, And His Grave Would Be The Grave Of All Our Hopes. A Gospel Of A Dead Savior Would Be A Miserable Failure And Delusion. The Resurrection Is The Victory Of Righteousness And Life Over Sin An Death.

The Resurrection Of Christ Is Therefore Emphatically A Test Question Upon Which Depends The Truth Or Falsehood Of The Christian Religion. It Is Either The Greatest Miracle Or The Greatest Delusion Which History Records.

Calvinism Emphasizes Divine Sovereignty And Free Grace; Arminianism Emphasizes Human Responsibility. The One Restricts The Saving Grace To The Elect; The Other Extends It To All Men On The Condition Of Faith. Both Are Right In What They Assert; Both Are Wrong In What They Deny. If One Important Truth Is Pressed To The Exclusion Of Another Truth Of Equal Importance, It Becomes An Error, And Loses Its Hold Upon The Conscience. The Bible Gives Us A Theology Which Is More Human Than Calvinism And More Divine Than Arminianism, And More Christian Than Either Of Them.

Those Who Make Pictures Of The Savior, Who Is God As Well As Man In One Inseparable Person, Either Limit The Incomprehensible Godhead To The Bounds Of Created Flesh, Or Confound His Two Natures Like Eutyches, Or Separate Them, Like Nestorius, Or Deny His Godhead, Like Arius; And Those Who Worship Such A Picture Are Guilty Of The Same Heresy And Blasphemy.

The Son Of God, Prompted By The Same Infinite Love, Laid Aside His Divine Glory And Mode Of Existence, Emptied Himself Exchanged The Form Of God For The Form Of A Servant, Humbled Himself And Became Obedient, Even Unto The Death Of The Cross.
