Salvation, Power of
The power of full salvation empowered great preachers and apostles to proclaim Christ.
What was it by which the Lord prepared Edwards, the Wesleys, and Whitefield, to herald the blessed Jesus to the multitudes with such simplicity and power?—just this very experience of full salvation. What was it that gave Luther power to break his own Roman fetters, and become the champion of the free?—just this experience of the power of Jesus in him for full salvation. What was it that gave the apostles power to come forth into the light themselves, and shed the light in such effulgence upon a benighted world?—Christ the Sun of Righteousness risen in their own souls.
