DARKNESS

Satan, the great adversary, directs all his energy to prevent men becoming the subject of that illumination of which the gospel, as the revelation of the glory of Christ, is the source.----Charles Hodge.

 

In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (II Corinthians 4:4).

Justification

Good morning!

The fact that a man is forgiven, implies that he is guilty; and the fact that he is guilty implies that his justification cannot rest upon his own character or conduct. Charles Hodge

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Ephesians 1:7).
