Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise Upon Christian Perfection He was now living at Putney as tutor to the boy who was afterwards to be the father of Gibbon the historian and among the many who came to Putney to consult Law was John Wesley, who joined with Whitefield, Dr. Johnson, and Gibbon the historian, in considering the Serious Call as one of the most remarkable books ever written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Perfection: As Taught by John Wesley His whole life and work, during a long and useful ministry, teach more positively than any words of his, that his consecration and faith received a Divine re sponsa in the blessed experience which he insisted upon in others, and into which he led so many thousands of his hearers. There is no reason for believing that John Wesley sent his people ahead of himself, or that he led them into richer fields of light, sweetness, and love, than he himself enjoyed.

Download or read book The Spiritual Life Doctrine and Practice of Christian Perfection Classic Reprint written by Rev Walter Elliott and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spiritual Life, Doctrine and Practice of Christian Perfection Silence is an asset capable of very diverse investment. One may be fond of silence and loneliness because he is stupid, or ignorant; or because he wishes to spite his friends - a sullen silence, grieving those whose happiness depends on his kind words. Perhaps it may be the shyness of a bashful spirit that makes us hold our peace - a form of human respect. But religious solitariness is that prayerful wisdom which finds the soul's best solace in conversing alone with God. "Imagine, in the simplicity of thy heart, that thou art out of the world with God, that thou art already in eternity, separated from the body, and no longer disturbed by the things of earth" - an exhortation of Blessed Albertus Magnus, which needs but a grammatical re setting to become a definition of religious solitude. Let us realize that it is God's plan to sanctify us one by one. Holiness is indeed imparted by the outward medium of the Sacraments, yet it is an inward process. Now, "silence is the conversation of the divinity, the language of the angels, the eloquence of heaven, the art of persuading God." So said de Rance who had known all the joys and all the benefits of speech in his life in the world, and of silence in his life at La Trappe. Trust him with the scales for adjusting their relative value. We cannot conceive of anyone acquiring an intimate love of God, or a deep grief for sin, except he be fond of spiritual retirement. Holy love and holy sorrow are fruit of the tree of solitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plain Account of Christian Perfection, Vol. 5 Let us strongly and explicitly exhort all believers to go on to perfection. That we may all speak the same thing, we ask once for all, Shall we defend this perfection, or give it up? We all agree to defend it, meaning thereby (as we did from the beginning) salvation from all sin, properly so called, by the love of God and man filling our heart. Some say, "This cannot be attained till we have been refined by the fire of purgatory." Others, "Nay, it will be attained as soon as the soul and the body part." But others say, "It may be attained before we die: a moment after is too late." Is it so, or not? We are all agreed, we may be saved from all sin before death, i. e., from all sinful tempers and desires. The substance, then, is settled. But as to the circumstances, is the change gradual or instantaneous? It is both the one and the other. "But should we, in preaching, insist both on one and the other?" Certainly we should insist on the gradual change; and that earnestly and continually. And are there not reasons why we should insist on the instantaneous change?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Entire Sanctification, or Christian Perfection, Stated and Defended Which 0 so often wounds my heart; he is cleansed from all sin; saved from all inbred corrup tions; not that he may not sin, but that he can possess what the apostle Paul desired most ardently for the Thessalonian Chris tians. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he adds, faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. What is there in the condition of a professor of religion, who doubts the possibility of his being sanctified wholly, before the moment of departure from this life, that makes it desirable; why then contend so vehemently for it, is not the opposite condition much to be preferred; why misunderstand those who believe that they have found the king's high way of holiness, who dare not hide their glorious discovery and be guiltless?
