CHRISTIANITY,
SPREAD OF
The gospel will be spread abroad over the seas and the islands in the ocean, and among the people dwelling therein, who are called “the fulness thereof.” And that word has been made good. For churches of Christ fill all the islands, and are being multiplied every day, and the teaching of the Word of salvation is gaining accessions.
Hippolytus
The Scriptures, both of the Old and New Testament, clearly reveal that the gospel is to exercise an influence over all branches of the human family, immeasurably more extensive and more thoroughly transforming than any it has ever realized in time past. This end is to be gradually attained through the spiritual presence of Christ in the ordinary dispensation of Providence and the ministrations of His church.
A.A. Hodge
There have been great and glorious days of the gospel in this land; but they have been small in comparison of what shall be.
James Renwick
