The marks in scripture
Perhaps it is not needful to give a definition of this, since the scripture gives none. But the question is of the deepest concern to every child of man. Except a man be born again, born of the Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
I propose to lay down the marks of it in the plainest manner, just as I find them laid down in scripture.
