The Attributes Of God Tell Us What

The Virtue Of Contentment Is The Acquiescence Of The Mind In The Lot God Has Given

An Idea In Man Is First Impressed Upon Him And Afterwards Expressed In Things, But In God It Is Only Expressed, Not Impressed, Because It Does Not Come From Anywhere Else.

Sanctification Is The Real Change In Man From The Sordidness Of Sin To The Purity Of God's Image.

The Passive Receiving Of Christ Is The Process By Which A Spiritual Principle Of Grace Is Generated In The Will Of Man.

Therefore, The Church Is Not Absolutely Necessary As An Object Of Faith, Not Even For Us Today, For Then Abraham And The Other Prophets Would Not Have Given Assent To Those Things Which Were Revealed To Them From God Without Any Intervening Help Of The Church.
