| Dates | 1825-05 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing Jesus Christ as the foundation of salvation. Hitchcock discusses two barriers to salvation for those who do not believe in the saving power of Christ: the first, which he calls a barrier on the part of God, is that there can be no salvation without atonement; the second, which he calls a barrier on the part of man, is that there is a natural enmity in man's heart. Hitchcock thus posits that the only salvation can come through Christianity, and emphasizes that salvation does not come through attempting to find religion but through accepting Christ and acknowledging his death on the cross as the way to salvation. 1 Corinthians 3:11 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon on the first page. |
