The Pardon and the Peace Made Sure
“What is God to me? This is the first question that rises up to an
inquiring soul. And the second is like unto it,-What am I to God? On
these two questions hang all religion, as well as all joy and life to
the immortal spirit.
“If God is for me, and I am for God, all is well. If God is not for me,
and if I am not for God, all is ill (Rom 8:31). If He takes my side,
and if I take His, there is nothing to fear, either in this world or in
that which is to come. If He is not on my side, and if I am not on
His, then what can I do but fear? Terror in such a case must be as
natural and inevitable as in a burning house or a sinking vessel.”
