Not illustrated. 1833 Excerpt: ...of the apostles has been proved the best by experience. Whenever the atonement of Christ, or the first part of the work of redemption, has been omitted, little has been effected by preaching morality, and holding up the example of Jesus. Men may be taught in this way what they should be; but are left ignorant of the means of becoming so. II. Tfali doctrine true and criptural. It is the doctrine of the Bible, that Christ became man, not only to free us from the punishment of sin, but from sin itself. Jesus himself says this, John 8: 32, 36, sq. Cf. John vi. The writings of the apostles contain passages of the same import; e. g. Tit. 2: 11--14. Here Paul shows Titus what he ought to teach. He says (vs. 11, 12), that Christianity makes men pious and virtuous, and gives them the most cheerful anticipations of the future. Now (v. 14), he mentions the redemption of Christ, implying (a) that he died for us (tdo)xtv iavtov vntg rjuuiv); (6) that he designed to deliver us Xvigmorjrai) from all unrighteousness (cixo nuarjg avopiag), and make us the friends of God, and ready for all good works (Christian virtues). Here plainly dnoXvtgmoig implies both the particulars above mentioned. So 1 Pet. 1: 18, Christ delivered us (xvtgovv) ix fiaralag dvaatgoqijg, from a sinful, heathenish, vicious life. Ephes. 2: 9, 10, "We are xtio&ivtig lw Xgtatol tn i igyoig ayu&o'tg," i. e. renewed, placed in a situation in which we can act virtuously. Gal. 1:4, " Christ gave himself nigl apagtiwv rjuair (to deliver us from sin), and to rescue us from our former condition in the service of sin (bnwg irjiai ix Tov--aiwvog novrjgov)." The two things are connected still more clearly, 1 Pet. 2: 24, "Christ suffered on the cross the punishment of our sins; we oug...
