When The Son Of God Comes To

Naturally, Men Are Prone To Spin Themselves A Web Of Opinions Out Of Their Own Brain, And To Have A Religion That May Be Called Their Own. They Are Far Readier To Make Themselves A Faith, Than To Receive That Which God Hath Formed To Their Hands; Are Far Readier To Receive A Doctrine That Tends To Their Carnal Commodity, Or Honor, Or Delight, Than One That Tends To Self-denial.

When The Son Of God Comes To Rescue Us And Bring Us Back To God, He Does Not Find In Us The Ability To Believe.
