"The more earnestly
--we apply our minds to the investigation of truth,
--the clearer will the evidences of truth appear;
*God has graciously endowed men with intellectual powers, and these powers are to be wisely improved, that men may have ability to search into and understand rich depths of knowledge in the character, word, and works of God.
What could be done that has not been done in the provisions of the plan of salvation?
If the sinner remains indifferent to the manifestation of the goodness of God,
--we apply our minds to the investigation of truth,
--the clearer will the evidences of truth appear;
and the more closely we relate ourselves to the God of all wisdom, coming into communion with him who has created all things,
the richer will be our knowledge,
the more fully shall we comprehend divine truth.
*God has graciously endowed men with intellectual powers, and these powers are to be wisely improved, that men may have ability to search into and understand rich depths of knowledge in the character, word, and works of God.
To him who desires the knowledge of divine things,
God will open hidden wonders,
that are beyond the comprehension of those who are
unenlightened by the Spirit of God.
The resources of infinite love have been exhausted in devising and executing the plan of redemption for man.
God has revealed his character in the goodness, the mercy, compassion, and love manifested to save a race of guilty rebels. What could be done that has not been done in the provisions of the plan of salvation?
If the sinner remains indifferent to the manifestation of the goodness of God,
--if he neglects so great a salvation,
--rejects the overtures of divine mercy,
--refuses the gift of life purchased by the precious blood of Christ,
what could be done to touch his hard heart?"
