More quotes by Charles Hodge
If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice for all right of private judgment is then denied.
Charles Hodge
Sanctification is not a work of nature, but a work of grace. It is a transformation of character effected not by moral influences, but supernaturally by the Holy Spirit.
Charles Hodge
To be in Christ is the source of the Christian life to be like Christ is the sum of his excellence to be with Christ is the fullness of his joy.

The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God.
Charles Hodge
There can, therefore, be no doubt that Presbyterians do carry out the principle that Church power vests in the Church itself, and that the people have a right to a substantive part in its discipline and government.
Charles Hodge
As we fell in Adam, we are saved in Christ. To deny the principle in the one case, is to deny it in the other for the two are inseparably united in the representations of Scripture
Charles Hodge
Christ has not only ordained that there shall be such officers in his Church - he has not only specified their duties and prerogatives - but he gives the requisite qualifications, and calls those thus qualified, and by that call gives them their official authority.
Charles Hodge
Ruling elders are declared to be the representatives of the people.
Charles Hodge
All Church power arises from the indwelling of the Spirit therefore those in whom the Spirit dwells are the seat of Church power. But the Spirit dwells in the whole Church, and therefore the whole Church is the seat of Church power.
Charles Hodge
The Bible contains all the extant revelations of God, which He designed to be the rule of faith and practice for his Church so that nothing can rightfully be imposed on the consciences of men as truth or duty which is not taught directly or by necessary implication in the Holy Scriptures.
Charles Hodge
Our duty, privilege, and security are in believing, not in knowing in trusting God, and not our own understanding. They are to be pitied who have no more trustworthy teacher than themselves.
Charles Hodge
Zeal is the chief source, or one of the chief sources of spiritual power. God employs living souls to communicate life. In all ages, men of zeal have produced great results. This qualification, in the absence of others, can accomplish wonders.
Charles Hodge
When we are weak, then are we strong. When most empty of self, we are most full of God.
Charles Hodge
Original sin is the only rational solution of the undeniable fact of the deep, universal and early manifested sinfulness of men in all ages, of every class, and in every part of the world
Charles Hodge
When the great promise of the Spirit was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, it was fulfilled not in reference to the apostles only.
Charles Hodge
It is because God is infinitely great and good that his glory is the end of all things and his good pleasure the highest reason for whatever comes to pass. What is man that he should contend with God, or presume that his interests rather than God's glory should be made the final end?
Charles Hodge
It is a fact that unless children are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, they, and the society which they constitute or control, will go to destruction. Consequently, when a state resolves that religious instruction shall be banished from the schools and other literary institutions, it virtually resolves on self-destruction.
Charles Hodge
The functions of these elders, therefore, determine the power of the people for a representative is one chosen by others to do in their name what they are entitled to do in their own persons or rather to exercise the powers which radically inhere in those for whom they act.
Charles Hodge
No more soul-destroying doctrine could well be devised than the doctrine that sinners can regenerate themselves, and repent and believe just when they please.
Charles Hodge
Faith is not a blind, irrational conviction. In order to believe, we must know what we believe, and the grounds on which our faith rests.
Charles Hodge
