WILLIAM SAMUEL JOHNSON---signer of the Constitution of the United States.
Quoted in a speech:
You this day, gentlemen, assume new characters, enter into new relations, and consequently incur new duties. You have by the favor of Providence, and the attention of friends, received a public education , the purpose whereof hath been to qualify you the better to serve your Creator and your country…
Your first great duties, you are sensible, are those you owe to Heaven, to your Creator and Redeemer. Let these ever be present to your minds, and exemplified in your lives and conduct. ..
………Remember, too, that you are the redeemed of the Lord, that you are bought with a price, even at the inestimable price of the precious blood of the Son of God. Adore Jehovah, therefore as your God and your Judge. Love fear and serve Him as your Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier. Acquaint yourselves with Him in his word and holy ordinances.
ROGER SHERMAN signer of the US Constitution and an American Revolutionary Patriot.
Wrote this creed:
I believe that there is one only living and true God, existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, the same in substance equal in power and glory.
That the scriptures of the old and new testaments are a revelation from God, and a complete rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy Him.
That just two more patriots....MORE TO COME.... |
