Book Description

Excerpt from Practical Discourses on Regeneration The word salvation necessarily suggests the idea of some existing evil, from which deliverance'has either been effected, or is required. In its simple primary meaning, it has no exclusive reference to one description of evil or of deliverance mbre than to another. But in general use, it has become so very much appropriated to the deliverance revealed by the gospel, that we are apt to feel as if it were desecrated when we hear it applied to any preserva tion or rescue, whether personal or national, of a merely secular and temporary nature.
