A little heavenly light suffices to reveal to men their darkness, for if they will but think they must admit that if God deigns to teach us in the Scriptures it must be because apart from them we are ignorant. There is no need of revelation, and the Bible is worthless; there is no need of an incarnate deity, and Calvary is a superfluity, if men already know God apart from the Lord Jesus, and the word by which he is pleased to reveal himself. Let but the Holy Spirit bring this home to a man’s heart and he begins to cry out against his own pride, he bemoans his own blindness, and he is quite willing to become a fool that he may be wise, a child that he may sit at Jesus’ feet.
