Is it not frightfully unfair that this new life should be cofined to people who have heard of Christ and been able to believe in Him? But the truth is that God has not told us what His arrangements for other people are. We do know that no man can be saved except through Him. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved through Him. C.S. Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is such a good point that I had never thought of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His constant assertation of self, as far as he thinks of it at all, appears to him as a perfectly normal thing. He is willing to share himself, sometimes even to sacrifce himself for a desired end, but never to dethrone himself. No matter how far down the scale of social acceptance he may slide, he is still in his own eyes a king on a throne, and no one, not even God Himself can take that throne from him. A.W.

God's best soldiers are found in the valley of affliction. Fall to your knees and grow there. (George Meuller) When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ. (Robert Murray M'Cheyne) Voltaire expected that within fifty years of his lifetime there would not be one Bible in the world. His house is now a distribution center for Bibles in many languages.

(My grandmother) "The wages of sin is death. Repent before payday". (Seen on a Church billboard) "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!: (Patrick Henry) "Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indisolutly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?" (John Quincy Adams in a speech at Newburyport, MA on July 4, 1837) "Man must be governed by God or he will be ruled by tyrants." (William Penn) "But while a man can be restrained by strict law and orders, he cannot be changed by law; he cannot be saved by law. Man can only be saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ." (R. J. Rushdoony) "The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which ment suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and wars, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."
