The Attributes of God - -But man is endowed with a conscience.- True, but how well does it serve him until he is enlightened by the Word and convicted by the Spirit-- Man's understanding has been so darkened by sin, and folly is so bound up in his heart from childhood -Prov. 22-15-, that until he is instructed he does not know what God requires of him, nor what is for his highest good. That is why God gave us His Word- to make known what He justly demands of us- to inform us of those things which destroy the soul- to reveal the baits which Satan uses to capture and slay so many-
