Christian Devotedness [Booklet]

About This Product

If there is one thing of importance now it is Christian devotedness. I do not separate this from Christian doctrine, but I base it on that. I do not surely separate it from the presence and power of the Spirit (one of the most important of these doctrines), for it is produced by it. But Christian devotedness founded on the truth, and produced by the power of the Spirit, I believe to be of the utmost importance for the saints themselves and for the testimony of God. I believe surely that doctrine is of deep importance now; clearness as to redemption, and the peace that belongs to the Christian through divine righteousness; the presence and living power of the Comforter sent down from heaven; the sure and blessed hope of Christ’s coming again to receive us to Himself, that where He is we shall be also, that we shall be like Himself seeing Him as He is, and that if we die we shall be present with Him; the knowledge that risen with Him we shall be blessed not only through but with Christ; the deep practical identification with Him through our being united with Him by the Holy Spirit. All these things, and many truths connected with them, held in the power of the Holy Spirit separate us from the world, shelter the soul (by the spiritual possession of Christ glorified, the conscious possession of Christ) from the frivolous arguments of current infidelity, and give a living spring to the joy and hope of the whole Christian life. But the expression of the power of them in the heart will manifest itself in devotedness.
