The text and context 'make it undeniably'evident, that-hypower here, is understood, not a natural, but a moral power, consisting, not only in ability, but in a right to command. Which power is said to be ordained of God, as importing, riot merely the proceeding of the thing from God providentially, but such a being from God, as carrieth m it his instituting or appointing thereof, by the warrant of his word, law, or precept. So that that power, which is to be owned as of God, includeth these two particulars, without which no authority can be acknowledged as God's ordinance, viz. Institution and constitution, so as to possess him, who is God's minister, with a moral power. - Act and Testimony qf t/ze Refmvnal Presbyterian Church-p. 98-belfast edit, 1832.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Grounded in the teachings of the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans, this book delves into the concept of Christian Magistracy, exploring its divine origin, character, and purpose within a biblical framework. The author contends that civil government is not merely a human invention but an institution ordained by God for the well-being of society. This exploration is situated within the historical context of the Reformation and post-Reformation era, drawing upon the insights of theologians and reformers who championed the idea of a Scriptural Magistracy. The book meticulously examines the qualifications of a Christian Magistrate, emphasizing the importance of piety, justice, and adherence to God's law. The author delves into profound theological discussions, including the relationship between Magistracy and the mediatorial Kingship of Christ, and the role of the Divine Law as the ultimate standard for civil authority. The text underscores the significance of the people's choice in constituting Magistracy, while emphasizing that this choice must align with biblical principles. Ultimately, the book's insights illuminate the vital role of Christian Magistracy in promoting righteousness, restraining evil, and upholding the principles of God's kingdom on earth.
