Nor does the Apostle give room for unbelief in the
other direction. He quotes at once the words of the Prophet,
Or Who hath descended into the abyss Deut. xxx. 13. E.V. Who shall go over the sea
for us?, and adds immediately the explanation,
That is to bring Christ back from the dead. He is free to
return into heaven, Who was free to descend to the earth. All
hesitation and doubt is then removed. Faith reveals what
omnipotence plans: history relates the effect, God Almighty was the
cause.
