The Bible and Human Souls
Homilist
James 1:21-22
Why lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word…


I. THE BIBLE.

1. It is the Word. Pure. Loving. Faithful. Conquering.

2. It is the engrafted Word. An incorruptible seed.

3. It is the Word to save from spiritual ignorance, prejudice, thraldom, selfishness, sensuality, guilt, &c.

II. THE HUMAN SOUL.

1. Its amazing capability.

2. Its moral obligations. Receive the Word in a humble, reverent, docile spirit.

(Homilist.)
