Subject: Abasing Man's Pride |
Bible Note: "Those who understand the nature of the Gospel, and live under its power, can enter into its blessed design. All its doctrines, precepts, and promises, are calculated to abase the pride of man, to exalt the glory of Christ, to reveal the malignity of sin, the beauty of holiness, the vanity of the world, the bliss of heaven; to show the sinner his utter helplessness, to reveal to Jesus an all sufficient Savior. "Pride wants its share of merit in the work of redemption, but Truth levels the proud pretension in the dust. "Proud man must be humbled, the idol self must be dethroned!" --Thomas Reade (1835) |
