Browsing Quotes With Tag: righteousness (4)

  • One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of such things (all the duties, rules, guilt, virtues of mortality), except perhaps as a joke. Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes.

  • First … it is necessary to have faith in God, faith being the first principle in revealed religion, and the foundation of all righteousness. Faith in God is to believe that he is, and “that he is the only supreme Governor and independent Being, in whom all fulness and perfection and every good gift and principle dwell independently,” and in whom the faith of all other rational beings must centre for life and salvation; and further, that he is the great Creator of all things, that he is omnipotent, omniscient, and by his works and the power of his Spirit omnipresent.
