"Sin not only
---but destroys in the human soul
-*-both the desire
-*-and the capacity
for knowing Him.
All this work of evil it is Christ's mission to undo.
The faculties of the soul,
--paralyzed by sin,
--the darkened mind,
--the perverted will,
He has power to invigorate and to restore.
He opens to us the riches of the universe, and by Him the power to discern and to appropriate these treasures is imparted.
Christ is the Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. John 1:9."
E.G.W.
