Download or read book God of Holy Love written by Peter Taylor Forsyth and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The God of Christian faith is, according to Peter Taylor Forsyth, a God of holy, righteous love. As a result, God's intervention in human life is morally robust, being in search of the transformation of its recipients toward holy love. Its high point is in the cross of Jesus Christ. This book contains twenty of Forsyth's essays that clarify the nature and manifestation of God's holy love. Forsyth contends that God is an active personal agent who desires interpersonal fellowship with humans, under the authority of divine holy love. He attends to the experience of God in moral conscience, where one can experience forgiveness and redemption by God. He challenges readers to consider whether their experience includes an encounter with a God who manifests holy love.

Download or read book Help for Holiness written by Paul F. Evans and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time there was a great deal of interest in the topic of holiness—but not so much anymore. Theological wrangling and impossible legalism has left many in the church frustrated and confused, with part of that confusion arising from idealism in the pulpit that rang hollow in the lives and experiences of ordinary believers. But what if there was significant help from God in the enterprise of living a morally triumphant life, where habitual sinning was not inevitable, and where the development of godly character was possible and found through a maturing relationship with God and growth in the Christian life? The apostle Paul certainly thought so. In Help for Holiness, author and senior pastor Paul F. Evans revisits the topic of holiness and explores Paul’s admonition that believers shouldn’t seek more rules (legalism) nor give in to moral pessimism that says we cannot help but sin every day in word, thought, and deed. Instead, through morally transformative justification and regeneration, followed by a commitment to the crucifixion of the old life in the death of Christ, we can be raised to new life, which, through ongoing surrender to the Spirit, can in fact produce the conduct and character God is looking for. In this postmodern world, we do not need to abandon an emphasis on righteous and holy living—God really has made a provision for us to succeed morally. Holiness was started by grace, and God will complete it in us by grace through the Spirit!

Part of the Preaching the Word series.
Download or read book Me and My God written by David T. Peckham and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motive for writing this book is threefold: Section One, The Fatherhood of God, is because of my burning desire to get to know my heavenly Father in a more personal way. In Section Two, I want to share thoughts on our Spiritual Adoption into the family of God. The reality that I have not only been Born Again by the grace of God, but also adopted as a son into His family, is most precious to me, and is the reason I can call Him Abba, Father. Section Three This My Son, is the story of my restitution to God after twenty-three years of prodigal living. The longsuffering and faithfulness of God is evidenced in no clearer way than in the manner in which the father welcomed home his prodigal son. By incorporating these three subjects under one heading is fulfilling a need in my life. I do not wish to leave the impression that to know God is merely an academic exerciseit is not. To love Him is to know Him, and to know Him is to love Him.

Book excerpt: What Kind of Relationship Can You Have with Someone You Fear? For most of us, fear is something we try to avoid. And fearing God hardly sounds like an occasion for joy. But Jerry Bridges shows how the fear of the Lord is actually the key that opens the door to a life of true knowledge, wisdom, blessing, and joy. We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God–one that’s characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy? After all, aren’t we supposed to love Him and live in intimate relationship with Him? Jerry Bridges explores this paradox as he unpacks the biblical promise that God delights in those who fear Him. Join him as he unveils the awesome greatness of God–His incredible holiness, deep wisdom, and especially His inspiring love. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of who God is that will draw you into a truly biblical, and surprisingly delightful, fear of God–a fear that includes your own genuine, heartfelt delight in God. You’ll make the startling discovery that the fear of the Lord, far from being something to avoid, is the key to joyful, fulfilling, and genuine intimacy with God. It can change your relationship with God and change your life! Discover the surprising Joy of Fearing God!
