If the gospel of God's grace is but the invention of men and has no power beyond the resolve and determination of reformed flesh, how do you explain the difference in conditions where Christ Jesus is preached, believed, and loved and where his name and gospel are not loved?
- Compare countries. I defy you to look at a map of the world and compare all things where the gospel of Christ is preached and where it is not preached. It is as different as daylight and dark.
- Compare communities and towns where there has been a strong gospel witness and church with those places where his name is not known.
- Compare homes where parents and children worship God, love Christ, and respect and follow his word with those homes where he is not known nor loved.
- Compare individuals who are objects of his grace and have been translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of his dear Son and who love Christ with those who are yet in the gall of bitterness and unbelief.
- Compare the death of a righteous man with the hopeless, blasphemous departure of a man of this world. How do you account for the difference in values, principles, conduct, attitude, and hope?
