Excerpt from Princeton SermonsHence the exhortations to growth in every Christian grace with which the New Testament Epistles abound hence the joy of thankfulness with which every manifestation of that growth was hailed by the Apostles and apostolic men who wrote them, hence the prominence continually assigned to that order of things which, embodying the precept of our Lord, first makes the tree good that its fruit may be good also, and hence, to take only one noteworthy example from the writings of St. Paul, when that Apostle tells us of the object which the ascended Lord had in view by the gift of his various ministries, the conversion of the world is not mentioned. Everything has relation to the Church. Apos tles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers are given for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ, till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a full-grown man, unto the measure of the stat ure of the fullness of Christ, from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
