Excerpt from Facts That Call for Faith: A Series of Discourses In sixteen most attractive discourses, now first gathered in permanent book from, Dr. Gregg has set forth the great fundamental facts in which religion finds its basis. He calls these most appropriately, "Facts that call for Faith." The first fact is God, made known to faith, but no less a fact whether acknowledged by us or not. The second fact is Christ, the manifestation of God, but a fact whether or not we consider the manifestation. In like manner the Bible is a fact, and the Church, and the Lord's Day, an established institution. Then turning to man, he considers the Testimony of Human Experience, the world-wide practice of prayer, rising in Christian practice into an intelligent and loving appeal which knows it has its answer. Natural experience ends in Death, but what is darkness to the unbeliever becomes the occasion for the believer's most triumphant victory over doubt. Other facts that call for faith are Regeneration, Justification, the Resurrection of Christ, and Immortality; while the theme is further developed in the discussion of Christians of Power, Conditions of Receiving the Spirit, Thomas the Sceptic, and Christian Character. The more we see what the Bible reveals, or have personal experience of worship and prayer and trial, the more we see that revelation and experience call for faith, and are fitted to make it grow when once aroused.
