Written by John Newton (1725-1807), an English evangelical Anglican cleric and slavery abolitionist.
The two great points we are called to pursue in this sinful divided world, are peace and holiness…these are the peculiar characteristics of a disciple of Jesus, they are the richest part of the enjoyments of heaven; and so far as they are received into the heart, they bring down heaven upon earth.
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. [Hebrews 12:14]
