Thank you for following along in my series of Good Trouble identified from the life of Laura Haviland in my book, Underground Angel. Abolitionists in the 19th century sought to bring slavery to an end. They assisted slaves to freedom from their slaveholders on the higher truth of the Constitution and from the Word of God. They firmly believed the Declaration of Independence applied to all people, slaves included. The nineteenth century abolitionists risked their lives to uphold these truths. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
In Titus 3:5 it says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.” So, we cannot save ourselves, no madder how hard we try. But first we have to see our short comings and we can just see it through our eyes, not God’s eyes. We have to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, and then and only then see how far the human race has fallen. In John 16:7-9, Jesus says, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me” We can tell people about sin and unrighteousness but It takes the Holy Spirit through us to verify that we need regenerated.
