All doctrine, all experience, all precept',

Back to Man's religion & God's religion 12

---

All doctrine, all experience, all precept centre, as one 
grand harmonious whole, in the glorious Person of the 
Son of God. From Him they all come; to Him they all flow. 

Severed from Him . . .
doctrine is seen to be but a withered branch;
experience but a delusive dream;
precept but a legal service. 

But His light enlightening, His life quickening, His power 
attending the word of His grace—doctrine is seen to be 
no longer doctrine dry and dead, but glorious truth; 
experience to be not a mere matter of fluctuating feeling, 
but a blessed reality, as the very kingdom of God set up 
with a divine power in the heart; and obedience not a 
legal duty, but a high, holy, and acceptable service.
