Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Book excerpt: God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glory of Christ, Vol. 2: Illustrated in His Character and History, Including the Last Things of His Mediatorial Government So far as it respects its influence upon men, the great object of Christ's coming into world was to elevate them to moral rectitude. There is a higher good than mere enjoyment; something more valuable than the pardon of sin, and deliverance from the wrath and curse; else would there have been no such revealed conditions of salvation, and no such sacrifice as the humiliation of the Son of God. Infinite goodness would make men happy, but not at the expense of holiness; it is a holy happiness which it seeks to bestow. In the final issues of his government, God cannot tolerate an unholy happiness. When we speak of holiness, we speak of holiness, we speak of that which God most loves. His own character is "glorious in holiness." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Glory Of Christ written by John Owen and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glory of Christ is a book designed to declare part of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is revealed in the Scripture and proposed as the central object of our faith, love, delight, and admiration. The knowledge of Christ and His glory, John Owen says, is to be preferred above all other wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Why is it to be preferred? Why should we become engaged in a study of the glory of Christ? The author answers the question well when he writes, "For if our future blessedness shall consist in being where He is and beholding His glory, what better preparation can there be for it than a constant previous contemplation of that glory as revealed in the gospel, that by a view of it we may be gradually transformed into the same glory?
Download or read book Three Degrees of Glory written by Melvin Joseph Ballard and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melvin Joseph Ballard's famous sermon, whereby he sets out the plan which God has for humanity, and the characteristics of His kingdom in heaven, is a spiritual Christian classic. The author and deliverer of this sermon was a leading member of the Latter Day Saints church, a speaker whose eloquence in communicating God's promise to all of His children is in its fullest display. That joy and fulfillment is promised by the Lord, and that believers will be rewarded so long as they stay the path. The adversities which define life on Earth are merely temporary; a life lived true to God is one full of purpose. The afterlife, the heavenly kingdom of the Lord, awaits as it has always done. While aspects of the text are dated to their time - Elder Ballard spoke in 1922, when popular conceptions concerning race differed sharply from the modern day - the message as a whole is of vital significance to believers. Citing the holy Scripture and the prophets, we are enlightened about the salvation, its qualities expressed with bright clarity. For historical accuracy, this reprint appends the lists of staff at the Weber and Mount Ogden chapters, following the conclusion of the sermon.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints We congratulate you, brethren and sisters, on your appearance here this morning, and we pray God to pour out upon you and upon all of us His Holy Spirit during this Conference, that we may have a time of rejoicing, and that we may be able to act intelligently and wisely on all matters of business that may be presented before us; that we may have the spirit of union, love and devotion to the cause of Zion abid ing in our hearts; that we may have no feelings of dissension, but that we may be one, that we may be indeed the peo ple of God. It is not my purpose to prolong my remarks this morning, but I desired to express my gratitude to my Father in heaven for all His mercies and bless ings unto us. We will say to the people that we have no reason to complain of the dili gence of the Saints, so far as we are able to judge, in keeping the law of tithing. We believe that the Latter day Saints are observing that law as faithfully as they have ever done, and we beseech of you that you will con tinne to do this until our hands shall be freed from all obligations, and until we shall have means in the storehouse of the Lord with which to accomplish greater works, which may be neces sary to be done. We feel there is much that can be done and much that ought to be done in the interests of Zion and for the benefit of the people of God.

Download or read book Millennial Experience Or God s Will Known and Done Classic Reprint written by Almon Underwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Millennial Experience, or God's Will Known and Done To some, the title of this book may appear strange, and the inquiry will be made, Has the millennium be gun, that we should write of millennial experience I In reply, we affirm our belief, that we shall have millennial experiences before the full inauguration of this, the world's jubilee. The millennium will not be ushered in at any particular moment but individual Christians will be com ing into this state day after day, and year after year, until the full development of the latter-day glory, when the knowledge of the glory of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. There can be no doubt but many persons have had, and are now enjoying this experience in its fulness. The early disciples certainly enjoyed it after the baptism of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost. Their own words prove this, But we all with open face, beholding as in a glass, the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the spirit of the Lord. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of dark ness, hath shined into our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. They enjoyed then the light which shall characterize the millennial age. Doubtless, it is the duty and privilege of the entire Church of Christ, to possess this experience. As the children of Israel were prevented, by their un belief, from entering the land of Canaan, which, for a whole generation lay before them in full view so we stand waiting and hesitating with all the blessings of the millen nium held out to us, as our promised possession, into which we enter by faith alone.

Download or read book Finishing Well to the Glory of God written by John Dunlop, MD and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people want to finish life well, yet so few take the time necessary to carefully think through what that entails. Some say it means contentment, happiness, and freedom from pain. Many desire to simply maintain their dignity and enjoy their family and loved ones. These are reasonable goals; yet, there is a more profound, uniquely Christian approach to the end of life. John Dunlop, a medical doctor who has practiced for over thirty years and specializes in geriatrics, combines his medical expertise, firsthand experience with patients, and firm commitment to Scripture to propose nine strategies for finishing life well. He shows how with proper physical, emotional, and spiritual preparation, aging and death need not be a fight to the finish but a purposeful resting in the arms of the Savior. Theologically robust and practically relevant, this book will prove to be a sensitive and helpful resource for anyone facing end-of-life issues.
