This is the first volume of the “Fragments” series, a collection of periodical articles which never made it into book format, organized by topic. This volume covers the Gospel message, the power of God to deliver from sin.
In this volume there are lessons on: faith, forgiveness, the new birth, sanctification, suffering, thankfulness, and the spiritual laws in nature.
Whoever realizes the infinite depth and height and breadth of the character of God, which is summed up in His law, will readily see that nothing short of the power of God can produce that character in man. Only God himself can do the works of God. For a man to assume that he himself is able to do God’s righteous works, is to make himself equal with God; and that is the very “mystery of iniquity” itself.
Present Truth, January 28, 1892
