Every Christian accepts the New Testament as of God; he who does not is no real Christian but a skeptic. Hearing the apostles and prophets of the New Testament is inseparable from knowing God now.
To profess Christ and reject plenary inspiration indicates the work of evil spirits. Infidelity, as a rule, begins with the Old Testament, but it will surely attack and reject the New Testament also.
It cheers the Christian, who finds his richest spiritual food, not in the Old Testament, though just as truly inspired, but in the New Testament where Christ is no longer veiled or distant but manifested in all the fullness of His glory and His grace, in the majesty of God and the meek tenderness of the lowliest Man that ever trod the earth.
