Description
The Spiritual Order and Other Papers by Thomas Erksine of Linlathen (1788-1870) presents the gospel like a Lutheran in terms of the unconditionality but goes still further in terms of universality. The book contains a response to Renan's Life of Jesus, argues for the Divinity of the Son, explains God's Fatherly purpose for man, and comments extensively on the Book of Romans.
A few quotes:
"If [Renan, author of Life of Jesus] had so studied the Christian morality as to perceive that it consisted in qualities which could not be called forth by any amount of mere effort--in filial love and trust towards God producing all other goodness--he would have expected to find in Christian theology…such discoveries of God and of His relation to man, as would, when believed, naturally and without effort call forth such trust and love."
God's love "is a love which is not repelled by unworthiness, but seeks to deliver from unworthiness, and to make all men worthy."
"And is there not a real relief in the doctrine of the Eternal Sonship [of Jesus Christ] as a deliverance from the thought of a God whose very nature is love dwelling in absolute solitude from all eternity without an object of love?"
God "intends me to fill a place which no other creature can fill, and is dealing with me in accordance with this special individuality."
"We are tried that we may be educated, not educated that we may be tried."
God's "love survives our sin..and His punishments are not for destruction but for correction."
"The assurance…that God ever remains [man's] loving Father is the gospel which in all circumstances man needs in order to his being righteous, and this is the gospel which is given him in Jesus Christ."
