Preview Gospel Evidences of Saving Faith - Puritan Treasures for Today
Description:
Although believers have a right to every spiritual comfort in Christ, remaining sin and temptation often hinder them from enjoying these blessings. In 'Gospel Evidences of Saving Faith', John Owen recognizes that faith “is the root on which all genuine comforts grow,” and these comforts “are ordinarily shared by believers in proportion to the evidences of true faith in their lives.” Owen investigates the proper operations of faith that demonstrate its genuineness, encouraging us to cling fast to Christ, pursue holiness, commune with God through worship, and bring our souls into a special state of repentance. Do you wish to glorify God more and have greater enjoyment in the comforts of Christ? Find inspiration in this pastoral consideration of the evidences of saving faith.
Table of Contents:
First Evidence: Choosing, Embracing, and Approving God’s Way of Saving Sinners through the Work of Christ Alone
Second Evidence: Habitually Approving of the Holiness and Obedience God Requires as Revealed in Scripture
Third Evidence: Consistently Endeavoring to Keep All Grace in Exercise in All Ordinances of Divine Worship
Fourth Evidence: Bringing the Soul into a Special State of Repentance
Series Description:
Interest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving. This series seeks to overcome that barrier by presenting Puritan books that are convenient in size and unintimidating in length. Each book is carefully edited with modern readers in mind, smoothing out difficult language of a bygone era while retaining the meaning of the original authors. Books for the series are thoughtfully selected to provide some of the best counsel on important subjects that people continue to wrestle with today.
Author:
John Owen (1616–1683) was an English Puritan who served as vice-chancellor of Oxford University and pastor of congregations in Coggeshall and London. His works have been reprinted by Banner of Truth Trust.
Endorsement:
“This little book, which distills the great themes of John Owen's long and often complex treatises on the Christian life, has been overlooked for too long. Brian Hedges's careful and sensitive revision renews the force of its arguments. There could be no easier way to engage with Owen's theology of the Christian life in his four hundredth anniversary year.” — Crawford Gribben, author of John Owen and English Puritanism: Experiences of Defeat
