Christ, Christianity, and Character
A philosophical theory does not bring “repentance not to be repented of.” A system of ethics does not change a sin-loving heart to a righteousness-loving heart. A fable, a myth, does not hold in hope a soul, in the deepest darkness as well as the clearest light; does not strip away all selfishness, and lead to the abandon of all that the flesh counts dear for the sake of others, even enemies. Christ, Christianity, does all this, and more. It fits a man for better service in every good way in this life, it creates and transforms character for the eternal future. Reader, in that faith abide. “Let no man rob you of your prize” by any philosophy or theory under heaven. Remember that “the preaching of the cross” is foolishness to those only who choose to perish.
