Book excerpt: “Faith without love to Christ is a dead faith.” So states Thomas Vincent in The True Christian’s Love of the Unseen Christ—a book whose sole stated purpose is to help the reader obtain love for Christ in truth and strength. Christian, if your love for Christ has gone cold, if you have lost your passion for serving Christ, this book will be a spark for rekindling that love again, and a bellows for fanning it into flame. Originally published in 1677, this classic treatise has been meticulously edited to benefit a new generation of Christian readers. Archaic language has been gently modernized, and helpful footnotes have been added to aid the reader. This edition includes a biographical preface and review questions designed to facilitate group discussion or personal reflection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the most poignant books ever to come from a Puritan pen. Vincent wrote this priceless devotional based on 1 Peter 1:8, "Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, you love..." There is, of course, nothing more basic in Christianity than love to Christ. It is difficult to describe the passionate love for Christ that flows from every page of this treatment of the beauty of Christ. Here is a warm bath and spiritual encouragement for weary souls. "Our Savior sent an epistle from heaven to the church of Ephesus, wherein He reproved her because she had left her first love, and threatened the removal of her candlestick. He would take away her light--if she did not recover her love. By the same hand, at the same time, He sent another epistle to the church of Laodicea, wherein He reproved her lukewarmness, and threatened, because she was neither hot nor cold--that He would spew her out of His mouth, Revelation 2:45 and 3:15-16. And are professors in Britain under no such sin, in no such danger--when some scoff at the flames of love to Christ, like dogs that bark at the moon so far above them; when the most nominal professors are wholly strangers to this love? "The former looking upon it as but a fancy, the latter having it only in the theory and when, among those Christians who love Christ in sincerity, there are so few that know what it is to love Christ with fervor and ardency, when there is so general a decay of love to Christ in the land, Lord, what is likely to become of Britain! Have we not provoked the Lord to take away our candlestick? Have we not provoked the Lord to suffer worse than Egyptian darkness to overspread us again, and cover our light because it shines with such cold beams, because the light of knowledge in the head, is accompanied with so little warmth of love to Christ in the hearts of most Christians? Everyone will fetch water to quench fire in a general conflagration, and surely there is need in a day of such general decay of love to Christ, that some such fetch fire from heaven, and use bellows too; arguments, I mean, to enkindle and blow up the spark of love to Christ which seems so ready to expire. "Reader, the following discourse of the true Christian's love to the unseen Christ, is not finely spun and woven with neatness of wit and language. It is not flourished and set off with a variety of metaphors, hyperboles, rhetorical elegancies, or poetical fancies and fragments. It is not adorned and fringed with the specious show of many marginal quotations, excerpted out of divers authors. The discourse is plain--but the author has endeavored that it might be warm; his design being more to advance his Master, than himself, in your esteem; and if he has less of your praise, so that his Lord may have more of your love--his great end is attained."

Excerpt: ... debted; and God is severe, and strietly just, and without full satisfaetion to his justiee, he will thro DEGREESv you into a worse prison than the most nasty dolesome prison on earth, I mean into the prison of hell, where you must lie, without the least relief, or any hopes of release, The Lord Jesus Christ proffers to be your surety, to pay off all for you, and to give you a full diseharge; were you sensible what a debt sin is, and what a poison hell is, surely it would work your hearts into an endeared love of sueh a friend and surety who alone ean keep you out of this dolesome dreadful prison, into whieh, without him, you will eertainly, and may suddenly, be thrown. If any of you were siek of a death threatening distemper, and you had made use of many physieians, but none eould do you good; and if you should hear ef one physieian, who eould assuredly, and would readily and freely eure your disease, and save your life, surely you would thankfully make use of this physieian, and his kindness would exeeedingly engage your love: Sin is the soul's siekness; you are siek unto death. Sin, when it is finished, will bring forth death, not only temporal, but eternal: It is the Lord Jesus Christ only that ean eure you of this deadly siekness, that ean remove your sin, and thereby deliver you from this death of deaths. Get a sense of the dangerous siekness of sin, and you will prize, and use, and love the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only physieian of value in this ease. If any of you were guilty of murder, or theft, or high treason, or other heinous breaeh of the law of the land, for whieh you were apprehended, arraigned, aeeused, and eondemned to be hanged or burned, or to a more tormenting death than either; and if you should hear of a prinee
