Top Highlights
“Their office was the most important to which human beings had ever been called, second only to that of Christ Himself.” (Page 19)
“Enfeebled and defective as it may appear, the church is the one object upon which God bestows in a special sense His supreme regard. It is the theater of His grace, in which He delights to reveal His power to transform hearts.” (Page 12)
“True sanctification means perfect love, perfect obedience, perfect conformity to the will of God” (Page 565)
“John did not teach that salvation was to be earned by obedience; but that obedience was the fruit of faith and love” (Page 563)
“The church is God’s appointed agency for the salvation of men. It was organized for service, and its mission is to carry the gospel to the world. From the beginning it has been God’s plan that through His church shall be reflected to the world His fullness and His sufficiency. The members of the church, those whom He has called out of darkness into His marvelous light, are to show forth His glory. The church is the repository of the riches of the grace of Christ; and through the church will eventually be made manifest, even to ‘the principalities and powers in heavenly places,’ the final and full display of the love of God. Ephesians 3:10.” (Page 9)
