Excerpt from Select Works of Thomas Chalmers, Vol. 1: Lectures on the Epistle of the Romans
This is something more than the mere didactic affirmation of a speculative or scholastic Theology. It contains within its bosom the rudiments of a most important practical direction to every reader and every inquirer. If I do not see, not because there is a darkness around me, but because there is a blindness upon me adhering in the shape of a personal attribute, it were a matter of great practical account to ascertain if this defect do not stand associated with other defects in my character and mind which are also personal. And when we read of the way in which the moral and intellectual are blended together in the doctrines of the New Testament - how one apostle affirms that he who hateth his brother is in darkness; and another, that he who lacketh certain virtues is blind, and cannot see afar off; and another, that men who did not up to what they knew award the glory and the gratitude to God, had their foolish hearts darkened.
