The Divine Law Of Beneficence PDF Download

Excerpt from The Divine Law of Beneficence: Zaccheus, or the Scriptural Plan of Benevolence; And the Misson of the Church, or Systematic Beneficence God is not dependant on us for his support of the poor. He could have so diffused the gifts of his providence as to have had no poor. Or he could so have fitted our frames to the world, and the world to them, that all the elements of human life and comfort would have been as abundant and free as air and water, so that, like the lilies of the field, the whole human race might meet every want without toil or spinning; and he might have published his gospel to every creature without our aid. He might have made his angels, in another sense, "ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation." Or he might have written out the whole on the face of the heavens, and made them in a higher sense "declare the glory of God;" and made it in a higher sense true, that "their line is gone out through all the earth." He does not ask us to do this work or that, because of any dependence on us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
