Good Consequence

Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, while he would prove the fundamental article of the resurrection against the Sadducees, does not seek after a text that said in express words, that the dead shall rise again, but proves it by good consequence, yet no less firmly than if he had produced an express text for it, Matthew 22:32. And it is no less evident that the apostles follow him in this method ; as in treating of the resurrection of Christ, Acts 2:25. of the resurrection of all mankind, 1 Cor. 15. and of the justification of a sinner before God, in the epistles to the Romans and Galatians.
