The Harmony Of Divine Truth Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Divine Inheritance: As Revealed in the Bible, Man Nature; And Discerned by the Methods of Christ and of the Sprit This book may be conceived as a further utterance bearing upon the study of the conflict betwixt Agnosticism and the Bible as representing Religion. The results of the study would tend to prove that the conflict ought to cease, for the simple reason that there is no cause for strife, because Nature, Man, and the Bible are in agreement, united and harmonious. They arc as three independent witnesses, and their testimony to Divine Truth is sufficient to restore to men a perfect and unique form of Faith in God as the Revealer of all Truth and Grace. Arising out of these studies, what is termed "the Method of Christ" has taken a prominent place. The name is adapted from the Blessings uttered by Christ at the beginning of His ministry; they are the eightfold diverse forms of the spiritual life in its order of development. It is this particular harmonious unity in Divine gracious truth that awakens special interest, and the use of this Method becomes the Key to the study of the Bible, as a science; the science of the life of Grace in Christ. The Method of Christ has been applied to the Bible as a whole, and to its varied parts, and the same system of development can be traced in all divisions of the Bible, as a Revelation of Divine Truth. This Method has been, in a limited sense, applied to the natural sciences, also to Man in his complex being, and the results are the same, it is the Method of Christ that interprets the harmony that is in the universe of order and law, and the unity is found in Christ. When the discernment of Divine Truth, by science, leads direct to Faith in God, then it can easily be seen that such a Revelation, as here indicated, must mean Hope in Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world. It is Christ that reveals the way of salvation from sin. He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life," and by Him men return to God and good, As Revealed in the Bible, Man and Nature and Discerned By the Methods of Christ. He is the Teacher revealing Divine Truth in Grace, the way of spiritual life for mankind. It is the Spirit of Truth that takes all objective forms of truth in Nature, Man, and the Bible, and inworks them into the souls of men. There is also a Divine Method of the Spirit's operations that may be conceived as distinct in order from the Method of Christ; and the order of this development is inward and spiritual, as expressed in Faith, Hope, Patience, and Gracious Love. God is Truth. Christ is the Ideal, the embodiment of Divine Truth and Grace. The Spirit of Christ takes the Truth, as it is in Him, and there is Revelation to mankind. This Revelation to men, of Grace and Truth, is by the Word; and the Word is the Work of the Spirit. The reign of Christ is that of Divine Truth, of spiritual order and law; the Work of the Spirit is the regenerated life in Christ; and the issue must be Divine union in gracious Love.
