Hugh Martin (1821-1885) was a Scottish Presbyterian preacher and author.
“Make you a new heart and a new spirit.”—Ez. xviii. 31.
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.”—Ez. xxxvi. 26.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.—Ps. li.10
It is proposed in the following discourse to enquire into the relations which subsist among these three verses, with the view of exhibiting the helplessness and responsibility of man in connexion with the sovereignty and grace of God in the matter of the new heart, (and indeed in salvation generally); if by the blessing of the Divine Spirit, we may lead you to despair of “man, with whom this is impossible,” and with mingled anxiety and hopefulness to have recourse to “Him with whom all things are possible,” (Matt. xix. 26)—“even God, who quickeneth the dead, and who calleth the things that are not as though they were,” (Rom. iv. 17.)
Hugh Martin was one of Scotland's great nineteenth century evangelical preachers.
