Excerpts from the Kingdom of Heaven Taken By Prayer.
"One would think that the death of Uzzah, the conception of Ishmael, "Abraham and Issac's loss of their wives, and the vain attempt of reconciling Paul and the priests and rulers together, would have been cautions sufficient to put a final stop to the supposed usefulness of human inventions as furtherers of God's purposes."
"I was one day reading the New Testament, and these words came with power: "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." The imputed righteousness of Christ was a doctrine which I which I never had a proper sight of before. I had laid fast hold of Jesus as my "all in all", but now the Lord led me sweetly into the various branches of His finished salvation. The revelation of Christ's righteousness to me was like a second conversion. I traced my Bible perpetually after that blessed doctrine and found it revealed both through the Old and New Testament. I saw it was the veil in which our spiritual Isaac receives His spouse, the skirt that covers all that lie at the foot of Boaz, the garment the Saviour made for Adam, and the skin that covers the dry bones after the Spirit has entered into them."
