A Sermon

Sermon preached by the late REV. D. BEATON, Oban, at
Dingwall Communion, on Monday, 3rd February, 1936.*

(1) Such as shall be damned eternally may attain unto great things in religion. The truth of this is so plain and so well known in the word (see Matthew vii. 21, and xiii. 20, 21), that we need not stand to prove it further than by confirming the particulars; and we shall content ourselves with what is here. In handling this truth we shall (1) Show what these attainments are. (2) Why the Lord gives them to such characters. (3) What is wanting of that which would preserve them from apostacy.

Searmonan.

Leis an Urr. Tearlach C. Mac an Tòisich, D.D.

Searmon xiii.

“… An creidimh luachmhor ceudne ruinne.” II Pead. i. 1.

  1. Tha Cuspair a chreidimh luachmhor. Air do chreidimh a bhi aige mar bhunait focal na fianuis Dhé, tha e dol a mach gu dearbh a dh’ionnsuidh uile rùn fhoillsichte Dhé, ach ni’s sònraichte a dh’ionnsuidh na firinn co-cheangailte ri suidheadadh caillte an duine agus slighe na slàinte tre Iosa Criosd, ach gu sònraicht’ a dh’ionnsuidh Chriosd E Fein. Cha’n e tròcair Dhé dealaichte ri Criosd, na eadhon fireantachd Chriosd dealaichte ri Criosd, ach Criosd E Fein. Cha’n e, uime sin, cuspair a chreidimh an fhìrinn lòm, dh’aindeoin cho luachmhor ‘s a dh’fhaodas an fhìrinn sin a bhi, ach, ‘n a phriomh chleachdadh sònraicht, ‘s e am Focal do-sheachaint’, an Fhìrinn bheo, Criosd E Fein, Cuspair a chreidimh. Is e nàdur a chreidimh, no mar is fearr a chur, dòigh Dhé ann an deilgeadh gu slàinteil ri peacach, a bhi ga threorachadh a mach bh’uaithhe fein a dh’ionnsuidh Chriosd anns an t-soisgeul. An taobh a stigh cha’n eil e faotainn ach ciont, dorchadas, truaigh; ach, air a threorachadh le fianuis Dhé, tha e dol a mach a dh’ionnsuidh Chriosd. Tha Dia ag ràdh, “Is e so mo Mhac gràdhach anns am bheil no mhòr thlachd;” “Feuch Uan Dhé, a tha toirt air falbh peacadh an t-saoghail;” “Fosgail do bheul agus lionaidh mise e;” “Tha m’Athair a toirt dhuibh an arain fhiar ‘o neamh.” ‘S e tha’m peacach, air fhalbhachadh dheth fein ag iarraidh ach na choinnicheas ri uile fheuman a spioraid neo-bhàsmhor, luchdaichte le peacadh, fodh chomhair siorruidheadh—na choinnicheas ri chiont, ri fhadachd as bho Dhia, a lomnochduidh spioradail, agus a thruaillidheadh, agus a bhochdainn. An taobh so do Chriosd
