(extract from) Jesus the Great Prophet to His people\u00a0 by J.C. Philpot<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the four promises of the New Covenant is, \u201cI will put my laws into their minds, and write them in their hearts.\u201d (Heb. 8:10<\/a>.) This putting of his laws into their minds, and writing them in their hearts, is the fulfillment of the general promise to the Lord\u2019s family as opened up by the Lord himself, \u201cIt is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.\u201d (John 6:45<\/a>.) To share, then, in divine teaching is to possess a sure and blessed evidence of being a child of God. But the question still arises\u2013What are the marks and what the effects of this divine teaching? In a day like the present when \u201cmany run to and fro, and knowledge is increased,\u201d it is easy to be deceived with the mere natural and notional knowledge of the letter of truth, and mistake light upon the word for the light of life in the soul. The distinction between them is better felt than described; for as you cannot explain light to a person born blind, or the sound of music to one that is deaf and dumb, so you cannot by mere words lay open the deep mystery of divine life in the heart; nor indeed do we claim to ourselves an unfailing discernment.\u201dFor neither man nor angel can discern
\nHypocrisy, the only evil that walks
\nInvisible, except to God alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
