NORTH SEATTLE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. Thomas Baldwin. at the North Seattle
Baptist church. preached from the text:
John iii:2-"You must be born again."
"Here," he said, "are two great representa-
tivcs of the observation-disclosures repre-
senting works. and Christ representing the dis
pensation of grace. While Christ announces
salvation by grace without works, yet it is not
without conditions on mans side, seeing that
he Is required to be born again. While the
Most High eraciously saves the sinner, still he
has conditions in the salvation which involves
q spiritual birth for spiritual condition.
This regeneration includes both the body
and the soul with the affections and its truest
and loving services in concert with the spirit in
its fellowship with the spirit of God. This is
the highest aud most essential aspect of the
Chistian religion on the human side, and
therefore should enlist from the sinner the
most careful endeavor to obtain in method aud
in fact what dispensation OF spiritual good
furnishes to man.
