What do the Scriptures teach? Charles Hodge explores some of the major themes of the Bible—sin, faith, justification, repentance, holy living, baptism, and more—and explains the influence which these doctrines should exert upon the heart and life.
“Repentance is the act of a believer; and faith is the act of a penitent. So that whoever believes repents; and whoever repents believes.” (Page 219)
“the Bible teaches us that the sacraments are the signs of spiritual blessings” (Page 259)
“rites of divine appointment, and not of human institution” (Page 258)
“apostle, it is hid to them that are lost; in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not” (Page 11)
“If it be asked how they can be said to confer the grace which is already possessed?” (Page 267)
