Experience The Crowning Evidence Of The Christian Religion PDF Download

Excerpt from Experience the Crowning Evidence of the Christian Religion: Lectures; Delivered Before the Biblical Department of Vanderbilt University Is it worth while in our day, in this place, to discuss the evidences of Christianity? I think so. One may claim to be rooted and grounded in the faith so firmly that to him argument in its favor and refutation of objections are superfluous. Happy is he who has the full assurance, if it be supported by the realization in his heart of the benediction so familiar to the ear, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all." For to know this grace, love, and communion is to know the gospel; and to experience the blessing is to attain the end for which Christ Jesus came into the world. It shall be the aim of these lectures to set forth such experience not only as one of the evidences, but as their crown. It carries faith into knowledge: we know him whom we have believed. The scholar, the theologian, cannot affirm this; the Christian can. He does not stand on the outside, and strain his eyes to see what is within; he has entered into the holy of holies, where the glory shines.
