Victory In Christ

John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States. Adams made some profound statements regarding America’s purpose and destiny. He once stated, “The highest glory of the American Revolution was that it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the precepts of Christianity.”

Like America’s Founders, Adams didn’t seem to share the liberal doctrine of separating God and government. On July 4, 1867, Adams said: “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, our most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day (the Fourth of July)? Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?”

So, we aren’t intimidated by lying revisionists who attempt to deny America’s God-given birth. Nor are we moved by accusations against patriotism and love of country, and we do not accept the ludicrous argument that God would never raise up a nation for the primary purpose of trumpeting the gospel.
