“The thwarted desires of Paul gave occasion to the Spirit of God to indite and publish, by his hand, this invaluable Epistle—to present thus to the entire Church a gift, not of present, passing effect, but which should build up, and feed, and instruct, the saints to the end of their appointed pilgrimage of faith and patience in the world.” (Page 10)
“It is to be noted that the greetings in the Epistles are always from the Father and the Son, exclusive of the Holy Ghost. In the Revelation alone the Spirit is included (Rev. 1:4); and then, not as the ‘one Spirit’ (Ephes. 4), the Divine power of the Church’s unity and fellowship in love, but as the seven-fold display of Omnipotent might—the seven spirits of God as the eternal and almighty Governor of His creation.” (Page 8)
“It is by studying, therefore, the testimonies of His Spirit that faith acquires its needed strength and clearness for obedience to that will of God, which it is the object of pure doctrine to make known, and the joy and blessing of the child of God to do (John 13:17; 15:10; 1 John 5:3, 4).” (Page v)
“The Gospel is the message of God’s grace to sinners” (Page 11)
“The unsearchable riches of Christ, which form the subject-matter of the Spirit’s testimony, are nothing less than the revelation of the Divine fulness, as it is opened mediately to the eye of faith in the person of the Son. For the man who mediates is one with the God whom He declares (1 Tim. 2:5). In Christ all the fulness of the Godhead dwells; it dwells in the Son ‘bodily’ (Col. 2:9). The Holy Ghost, as the Divine witness of the finished grace of Jesus, is sent of the Father in His name. Though He comes as the messenger of Jesus, yet it is as proceeding from the Father (John 16:7; 14:26). Hence, in Acts 2:33, the descent of the Spirit as the Divine power of testimony* is referred by Peter immediately to the Father as the fulfiller of promise.” (Page 2)
