Man wants to be reconciled to God; wants to know that the past is forgiven.

Not in purity or in holiness merely, for in Paradise man was holy, and he shall be holy when redeemed through the sacrifice of Christ and made an heir of heaven.

If you live for pleasure, your ability to enjoy it may pass away and your senses grow dim.

The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move; the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe, and old as eternity.

Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense; or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.

I do not purpose to discuss faith in its dogmatic sense today.

Sanctification is not regeneration.
