Keys to the Word - Paperback

by Arthur T. Pierson (Author)

Goethe says, that before a reader complains of obscurity in an author, he should examine whether he himself is "clear within; in the twilight a very plain writing is illegible." "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned." No amount of light on the pages will compensate for a blind eye. "If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" The Bible should be taken up with the prayer, "Open Thou mine eyes, that I may beheld wondrous things out of Thy law."
