- Description:
- Manuscript sermon of Joseph Ruggles Wilson, originally delivered at First Presbyterian Church (Wilmington, N.C.), January 1898. Delivered again at Second Presbyterian Church (Richmond, Va.), undated. In this sermon Wilson describes how the practice of religion is based on a covenant of mutual love between God and man and that the Bible describes the history of this relationship. He shows how love for God is based in the Gospel, how God uses stern rule merely as a means to wake up the sinner and lead him to the loving persona of Christ. Sermon on 1 John 4:19.
