Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manifold Witness for Christ, Vol. 1 It is certain, as a matter of fact, that the Christianity of the mass of men is received by inheritance and teaching, and tested first by practical experience, and then by simple study of the Gospel in itself. I contend not only that this is perfectly reasonable, but that by no other method could Christianity, in accordance with the laws of human nature and experience, hope to assert for itself anything like a universal sway. But when this natural process is chal lenged to justify itself by reason, it appears to me that Christian thought generally passes through the two phases which I have attempted to Sketch in the first and second parts of this volume. I. Christianity obviously presents herself as the chief re presentative of Supernatural Religion', probably the only representative who has any chance of a hearing. The first question which suggests itself to most men on hearing her claim, is the question of the relation in which the Gospel stands to the conclusions and doubts of Natural Religion.' Can it do anything to strengthen the one, and to dispel the other In answer to that question I have endeavoured to Show that here, as in all other cases, the Supernatural is not Preternatural.' Tracing the gradual development in the Bible of the full Christian doctrine, under the pervading idea of Covenant with God, ' I have contended that, in relation to the three fundamental points of religion, the personality of God, the Spirituality of man, and the solution of the mystery of evil, Christianity accords at all points with the main principles of Natural Religion; but at the same time confirms in the calmness of absolute certitude the modest inductions of Natural Theology, and supplements them, when they are silent or speak with stammering tongue.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Vol. 1 The prophecies also of our Lord and of his apostles, interspersed, as we shall see, through the books of the several writers of the New Testament, and fulfilled through all succeeding ages, form a demonstration of its divine authority, which gathers clearness and energy by revolving centuries. A variety of other proofs, external and internal, might be mentioned: but these hints may here suffice to show, that the New Testament stands on its own basis; and not merely on the ground of the Old Testament, as some have assumed.

Download or read book The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Vol 1 written by Adam Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 1: The Text in the Authorized Translation: With a Commentary and Critical Notes; The Gospel and Acts Ore than fifty years ago the distinguished author of Clarke's Commentary completed his corrections for a new edition of that great work, which revision, on account of the lamented death of the great commentator soon after its completion, (august 26, proved to be final. The edition then issued (both in England and America) has been recog nised as the standard and authentic copy of the work, and its sale and use in both countries has been greater than that of almost any other similar work. And although, during the long period since its first appearance, very great advances have been made in every department of biblical learning, and an almost innumerable variety of exegetical and practical works on the Bible have been published, the demand for this great work has continued, and it is still called for beyond any other of the older commentaries. And as this continuance of the public favour indicates the possession of real excellences, so these are not difficult to detect. As a critical exposition of the original text this work, when first issued, was very far in advance of its time, and the intervening half century of unparalleled activity, with its wonderful results in the field of biblical criticism, has in many cases done but little more than confirm these suggested emendations, while its plain, rationally-spiritual, and highly practical expositions of the sacred text have endeared it to the hearts of untold numbers of simple, devout, and intelligent, rather than critically-learned, Christians.

Download or read book Bible Witness and Review Vol 3 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Witness and Review, Vol. 3: For the Presentation and Defence of Revealed Truth Restoration to a condition of innocence, such as Adam and Eve have alone known upon earth, is clearly impossible. By the fall the knowledge of good and evil was acquired, and man got a nature which is enmity against God (Rom. viii. 7). Continuance for ever in the condition spiritual and physical, which was engendered by the fall, would be dreadful to contemplate. Yet deliverance from it by his own power is what man can never achieve. Redemption, therefore, becomes a necessity, if the consequences of the fall are not always to be experienced by members of the race of Adam. For creatures we are, called into being at the will of the Creator, each alike possessing a soul that never dies, which dwells, whilst the man is upon earth, in a body which never can be annihilated. Were redemption unheard of, how truly wretched would be our prospect! Were it impossible, how had the enemy triumphed, by involving in ruin inevitable the whole race of beings, on the head of which God the Creator had once looked, and saw that it was very good (Gen. i. 31)! But the Bible treats of redemption by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and assures all who believe on Him that they share in it already (Ephes. i. 7; Col. i. 14), even the forgiveness of sins, whilst awaiting that exercise of divine power, which will effect the redemption of their bodies (Rom. viii. 23), The subject, then, is one of great importance and of world-wide interest, since it concerns Israel, Jerusalem, our souls, our bodies, and the purchased possession, to the enjoyment of which, with the Lord Jesus Christ, believers are taught to look forward (Ephes. i. 14, iv. 30).

WHAT I purpose in the following pages is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during the course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian Perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind; those who desire to know all the truth as it is in Jesus. And these only are concerned with questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is, endeavoring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I thought, and why I thought so."

Download or read book Jesus Manifesto written by Leonard Sweet and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-05-30 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Manifesto presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus, seeking to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world—and a church—that has lost sight of Him. Christians have made the gospel about so many things—things other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, and methods that begin to eclipse the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. We know a lot about our Lord, but we don't know Him very well. We know a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living by His indwelling life. Jesus Manifesto provides clarity on the most important points of our faith. It is a prophetic call to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world and church that has lost sight of Him. This manifesto emphasizes ten crucial areas of restoring the supremacy of Jesus Christ, noting: Christians don’t follow Christianity; they follow Christ Christians don't proclaim themselves; they proclaim Christ Christians don’t point people to core values; they point people to the Cross Christians don't preach about Christ; they preach Christ Read this book to see your Lord like you've never seen Him before and restore the sovereignty of Jesus in your life.

Download or read book Habits of Grace written by David Mathis and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Download or read book The Knowledge of the Holy written by A. W. Tozer and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say, "speak to the condition" of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation. The message of this book does not grow out of these times but it is appropriate to them. It is called forth by a condition which has existed in the Church for some years and is steadily growing worse. I refer to the loss of the concept of majesty from the popular religious mind. The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping men. This she has done not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.
