Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Senior Class in Divinity College, Cambridge, Sunday Evening, 15 July, 1838
The intuition of the moral sentiment. 18 an insight of the perfection of the laws of the soul. These laws execute themselves; They are out. Of time, out of space, and not subject to circumstance. Thus; in the soul of man there is a justice whose retributions are instant and. Entire. He who does a good deed, is instantly ennobled himself. He (who does a mean deed, is by the action itself contracted. He who puts off impurity, thereby puts on purity. If a man is at heart just, then in so far. Is he God; the safety of God, the.immortality,of God, the majesty of God do enter into that man with justice. If a man dissemble, deceive, he deceives himself, and goes out of acquaintance with his own being. A man in the view of absolute goodness, adores, with total humility. Every step so downward, is a step upward. The man who. Renounces himself, comes to himself by so doing.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of faith and its relevance in the modern world. The author argues that true faith stems not from adherence to rigid doctrines or historical figures, but from a profound connection with the moral law that resides within the human soul. The book delves into the complexities of the Christian faith, examining its historical development and identifying its shortcomings. It critiques the tendency towards formalism and literal interpretation, emphasizing the need to rediscover the core principles of love, justice, and personal enlightenment. The author emphasizes the importance of individual intuition and the inner spiritual experience as opposed to blind acceptance of religious authority. Drawing on historical examples of great thinkers and spiritual leaders, the author challenges readers to embrace a more personal and transformative understanding of faith, one that transcends dogma and empowers individuals to live in harmony with the divine within them. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit's capacity for spiritual growth, ultimately advocating for a revival of faith grounded in personal experience and individual intuition.
