"IF YE BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED AND HEIRS." Another matter, really the key to the whole question which we are discussing, is revealed in God's Word, viz., that in the divine purpose the promised "Seed of Abraham" that should perform the great work of blessing all the families of...

But what of our question, what is the Gospel to which the Apostle was not ashamed? As we had previously stated, The true Gospel must show divine Wisdom and Power in full accord with divine Justice and Love: of any other we should be ashamed. CONSIDER NOW THE TRUE GOSPEL. The word "gospel"...

Luke 19:11-27 Christian character cannot grow and develop in the neglect of the very means which God has provided for its perfecting. In such neglect a spiritual decline is sure to set in; and the more persistent and long-continued is the neglect, the less realized is the decline and the less...
