Sermons to the Spirtiual Man by William G. T. Shedd
This book was the companion to the book of sermons titled sermons to the natural man. This selection comes from The law is light.
In the first place, the moral light reveals like sunlight. It makes the sin which still remains in the Christian a visable thing. The apostl Paul notices this point of similarity, when he remarks: "All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, forr whatsover doth make manifast is light."And our Lord implies the same resemblance, when he says: "This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be manifast that they are wrought in God."
Shedd goes on to show how christians should take their heart to the scriptures to exam their deeds. The Word of God shows us where we fall short of what God wants us to do. It also shows us there is forgivness in Jesus.
