Excerpt from The Century of Preparation, and the Means and Time of Fulfillment: A Sermon Delivered Before the Foreign Missionary Society of New-York and Brooklyn, April 9th, 1854
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free Spin't then Will I teach transgressors thy ways, and Sinners shall be converted unto thee.
F OR the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Although these texts are three hundred years asun der, yet the connection between them is immediate, and the truth is one. The knowledge of the Lord which is to fill the earth, is that which is taught by the free Spirit of God, that which causes an experience of the joy of God's salvation, and that which issues in the conversion of sinners unto God. Moreover, the Christ ian joy, the experience of salvation by the Spirit, is the impulse and agency for communicating the knowledge of the Lord, and carrying on the work of conversion, all the world over.
