SynopsisExcerpt from The Works of Joseph Bellamy, D. D, Vol. 2 of 2: First Pastor of the Church in Bethlem, Conn;, With a Memoir of His Life and Character A chief design of the following sermons is to rectify these mistaken notions and apprehensions; not by proposing mere theories, but by turning the reader to a certain light, which shines in this dark and benighted world, the only sure guide we poor mortals have, and to which we do well to give heed. I mean, the Holy Scriptures; but for which, I think, we might have groped in total darkness, as to this particular, unable ever to have extricated ourselves. It was necessary that the true character of Jesus Christ should be determined, in order to open the wisdom Of God's universal plan to View. This, therefore, is attempted in the first sermon And it was equally necessary that the final success Of Christ 3 undertaking should be brought into view, to rectify some mistakes as to matters Of fact; and this is attempted in the next. And the reader may see the method I have taken to give light to the main subject, by a careful perusal Of the following sermons on the wisdom of God in the permis mon Of mu.

Answer. The decrees of God are his eternal purpose, according to the counsel of his own will, whereby for his own glory he hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. Often hath it been said, "If God foreordained whatsoever comes to pass, then he foreordained sin." As though it were evidently the greatest absurdity in nature, to suppose that God really thought it best, on the whole, that sin ever should exist in the world he had made. And I suppose it is generally taken for granted that it had been much better, if sin and misery had been forever unknown; and looked upon as one of the most unaccountable things, that God ever suffered affairs in this world to take such a course as they have. I do not imagine mankind would ever have thought of disputing God's right to lay out a universal plan, had the plan appeared to them wise and good. We do not dispute our superior's right, in time of war, to lay out a plan of operation for an ensuing campaign, although it is expected it will cost many a precious life, when, on the whole, we think the plan is wise and good.
