Our Reception of the Truth of Christ's Message, a Part of Our Moral Probation: A Sermon Preached Before the University of Oxford, on the Fifth Sunday in Lent, March 9th, 1856 (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A sharp look at how people receive or reject the message of Christ, and why that choice matters for moral probation.
This sermon investigates why the reception of divine truth rests on the receiver’s will, not on the sender’s failure. It frames Revelation as a conscious test of free agency under God’s guiding Spirit, and it explains why intellectual capacity does not determine belief. The talk also clarifies how partial knowledge and the limits of human understanding shape our response to the message.
- Learn how the reception of revelation is tied to personal will and moral choice.
- See why partial knowledge can create apparent contradictions, and how to approach them humbly.
- Explore the central role of submission to God’s will in the path to salvation.
- Consider how intellect, pride, and preconceived systems may challenge simple acceptance of the message.
