Take this argument that the modern man does not understand such terms as justification and sanctification. I want to ask you a question. They had not even been to a day school, they could not read, they could not write, yet these were the terms that were used. The common people have never understood these terms. We are concerned here with something that is spiritual, something that does not belong to this world at all.
Human wisdom is of no value here.
It is spiritual truth. Yet we are told that it must be put in such simple terms and language that anybody taking it up and reading it is going to understand all about it. My friends, this is sheer nonsense. What we must do is to educate the mass of the people up to the Bible, not bring the Bible down to their level. The common man is made to stand up to authority, he decides everything, everything has to be brought down to him.
