I maintain that it would be impossible for man to live the law of the Gospel without some such grace being conferred upon him by the Lord. The law of the Gospel requires men not only to do good to those who do good to them, but to do good to those who despitefully use them; not only to lend to those who lend to them, but to lend to those of whom they can hope to receive nothing in return; to revile not those who may revile them—in a word, the law of the Gospel is summed up in this: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. However fine this may be in theory, or however beautiful it may look on paper, to carry it practically into the affairs of life is difficult.Share
