Excerpt from Discourse Delivered November 17, 1847: At the Interment of the Hon. Benjamin Swift, Late U. S. Senator From the State of Vermont
I propose, then, to improve the present occasion in contemplating, under a few Of its many aspects, the one great truth which is revealed concerning the glorified state Of believers - that they shall be like Christ. And I may here say, that in selecting this topic for our meditation at this time, I have been influenced by a desire not only to inspire the bereaved with the consolation which it is suited to impart; but also to impress on the minds Of us all the important reflection, that the only reliable evi dence Of our title to that state is to be derived from the present, moral resemblance we bear to Him, 'who sitteth on the right hand Of god.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the biblical concept of "sonship" in relation to God. Specifically, the author explores the idea that believers in Christ are adopted as children of God and discusses the privileges and responsibilities that come with this status. The author argues that this adoption is not merely a legal fiction but a profound spiritual reality that transforms the lives of believers. The author also explores the implications of this sonship for our understanding of God's love, grace, and judgment. This book, written by an esteemed theologian, will appeal to readers interested in deepening their understanding of their relationship with God and growing in their Christian faith.
