Hearing The Word Is The Devout Receiving

Therefore, The Church Is Not Absolutely Necessary As An Object Of Faith, Not Even For Us Today, For Then Abraham And The Other Prophets Would Not Have Given Assent To Those Things Which Were Revealed To Them From God Without Any Intervening Help Of The Church.

The Passive Receiving Of Christ Is The Process By Which A Spiritual Principle Of Grace Is Generated In The Will Of Man.

The Good Pleasure Of God Is An Act Of The Divine Will Freely And Effectively Determining All Things.

Everyone Who Understands The Nature Of God Rightly Necessarily Knows That God Is To Be Believed And Hoped In, That He Is To Be Loved And Called Upon, And To Be Heard In All Things.

The Will Of God Is Single And Totally One In Him.
