Notes of Addresses
By John Nelson Darby0ROM 3:23EPH 2:1HEB 4:14John Nelson Darby emphasizes the need for justification and the understanding of man's spiritual state in his sermon 'Notes of Addresses.' He contrasts the perspectives of Romans, Ephesians, and Hebrews on sin and justification, highlighting the importance of the Word and priesthood in navigating life. Darby stresses that true faith endures to the end and that our relationship with Christ reveals our weaknesses and His greatness. He also points out that the world should see Christ reflected in us, and that our peace comes from God's view of the Blood of Christ rather than our own. Ultimately, he underscores the necessity of faith in Christ for receiving the Holy Spirit.
