PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. , l'l'iiListiui) for tiih Special Hknefit of NonCIIURCIUiOHRS. Trvk Christian Religion, intelligently understood, comes not to add to men's burdens but to remove them. " For God .sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that thej world through Him might be saved." John , 17 j Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use O' ; ! this Nmv Arc. are summarised as follows — There is one God, in whom is a Dnine 1 Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation J and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. I Saving Faith is to believe in Him. ■ Evils are to be shunned, becauso they are of the devil and from the devil. i Good Works ought to be done, because I they are of God and from God, and they I ought to be done by man as of himself, but I with the belief that they arc from the Lord, j operating in him by him. ! There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there arc threw which constitute the essence of His love—to love others out of Himself: to desiro to be one with them ; and to make them happy from I Himself, The same three constitute the essence o| His wisdom: because love and wisdom in, God make one, and love wills these things, and! wisdom accomplishes them. True Christiar.j f Religion, Xo. l;i. The word ol God is Divine truth clothed in . human language, ind adapted to the varied; ' states of the human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and do His wilt. "If ye continue in My word, then are ye My , disciples indeed." John viii. HI. "Therefore " all things whatsoever ye would that men should ■ | do unto >ou: do ve even so unto them ; for this > is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. S. The Ten Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. "That it is not so difficult to ive the life o r _ , heaven as if cemmonly believed is evident fro/u • this—that when anything presents itself that ona knows to be insincere and unjust, to whicl/ his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as ho is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees of his mind are opened; and in so far as these arc opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken otf, lor it impossible that any evil can be shaken oft until it bo seen. This is a i state into which a man may enter from freedom ; I for who is not capable from freedom of thinkingin this manner ? Hut when ho has made a beginning ali goods are wrought in him by the Lord., and He causes him not only to see evils, but alsonot to will them, and finally to become averse, to them. This is meant by tho Lord's worib* "My yoke is easy and My burden is ligkt.'" Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty ol so thinking, and likewise of reastinK evils, increases in proportion as a m»B from the wills commit evils, for in so far be becomes accustomed to them, until at length he docs not. sec them, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowablo and good. Hut this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 533.
