Blessed Certainty.

By John Newton

If all the blind men in the kingdom should endeavor to beat me down that the sun is not bright, or that the rainbow has no colors, I would still believe my own eyes. I have seen them both; they have not. I cannot prove to their satisfaction what I assert, because they are destitute of sight, the necessary medium; they would not—they could not—hesitate a moment if they were not blind. Just so they who have been taught of God, who have tasted that the Lord is gracious, have an experimental perception of the truth, which renders them proof against all the sophistry of the infidel.—Newton.
