Good morning,
Charles Hodge (December 27, 1797 – June 19, 1878) was a Presbyterian theologian and principal of Princeton Theological Seminary between 1851 and 1878.
He challenges us to think about our relationship to Christ. His statement on true religion is easily understood. We need to take his sayings and allow God to speak to us.
Short pithy gems from Charles Hodge
~ ~ ~ ~
To be in Christ–is the source of the Christian’s life.
To be like Christ–is the sum of the Christian’s excellence.
To be with Christ–is the fullness of the Christian’s joy.

The grace of God exalts a man without inflating him–and humbles a man without debasing him.

The gospel is so simple, that small children can understand it–and it is so profound, that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches!
~ ~ ~ ~
Christian humility does not consist in denying what there is of good in us–but in an abiding sense of ill-desert, and in the consciousness that what we have of good is due to the grace of God.

This is true religion:
to approve what God approves,
to hate what God hates, and
to delight in what God delights.
