Pastor Jon Payne is providing weekly devotionals through "The Way of Life: Christian Belief and Experience" by Charles Hodge (1797-1878). In this doctrinal gem, first published in 1841, Hodge clearly explains the doctrine of Scripture as well as the essential doctrines of sin, justification, faith, repentance, and holy living. Hodge was one of the most esteemed Reformed and Presbyterian theologians of the 19th century.

The following is the fourth installment of the devotional series by Pastor Jon.
