My heart has always assured and reassured me that the gospel of Christ must be a Divine reality. The sermon on the mount cannot be merely a human production.
This belief enters into the very depth of my conscience. The whole history of man proves it.
Daneil Webster.
All the gospels, in my judgment, date back to the first century, and are substantially be the authors to whom they are attributed.
Renan.
The shifting systems of false religion are continually changing their places; but the gospel of Christ is the same forever. While other false lights are extinguished, this true light ever shineth.
T.L. Cuyler
So comprehensive are the doctrines of the gospel, that they involve all moral truth known by man; so extensive are the precepts, that they require every virtue, and forbid every sin. Nothing has been added, either by the labors of philosophy or the progress of human knowledge.
Did you ever notice that while the gospel sets before us a higher and more blessed heaven than any other religion, its hell is also deeper and darker than any other?
Warren.
I search in vain in history to find the similar to Jesus Christ, or anything which can approach the gospel. Neither history, nor humanity, nor the ages, nor nature, offer me anything with which I am able to compare or explain it. There is nothing there which is not beyond the march of events and above the human mind. What happiness it gives to those who believe it! What marvels there which those admire who reflect upon it!.
Napoleon.
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees, and flowers, and clouds, and stars.
Luther.
The gospel is the fulfillment of all hopes, the perfection of all philosophy, the interpreter of all revelations, and key to all the seeming contradictions of truth in the physical and moral world.
Hugh Miller.
We can learn nothing of the gospel except by feeling its truths. There are some sciences that may be learned by the head, but the science of Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart.
Spurgeon.
The gospel in all its doctrines and duties appears infinitely superior to any human composition. It has no mark of human composition. It has no mark of human ignorance, imperfection, or sinfulness, but bears the signature of divine wisdom, authority, and importance, and is most worthy of the supreme attention and regard of all intelligent creatures.
Emmons.
There is not a book on earth so favorable to all the kind and to all the sublime affections, or so unfriendly to hatred, persecution, tyranny, injustice, and every sort of malevolence as the gospel. It breathes, throughout, only mercy, benevolence, and peace.
Beattie.
