Arthur W. Pink Collection Vol 2 includes three Arthur Pink
classics; Comfort for Christians, The Beatitudes, and Regeneration
or The New Birth. "The work unto which the servant of Christ is
called is many-sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the
unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding
(Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way
(Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift
up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their
transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2). While another
important part of his commission is stated in, "Comfort ye, My
people, said your God" (Isa. 40:1). "What an honorable title, "My
people " What an assuring relationship: "your God " What a pleasant
task: "comfort ye My people " A threefold reason may be suggested
for the duplicating of the charge. First, because sometimes the
souls of believers refuse to be comforted (Ps. 77:2), and the
consolation needs to be repeated. Second, to press this duty the
more emphatically upon the preacher's heart, that he need not be
sparing in administering cheer. Third, to assure us how heartily
desirous God himself is that His people should be of good cheer
(Phil. 4:4)." "Opinion has been much divided concerning the design,
scope, and application of the Sermon on the Mount. Most
commentators have seen in it an exposition of Christian ethics. Men
such as the late Count Tolstoi have regarded it as the setting
forth of a "golden rule" for all men to live by. Others have dwelt
upon its dispensational bearings, insisting that it belongs not to
the saints of the present dispensation but to believers within a
future millennium. Two inspired statements, however, reveal its
true scope. In Matthew 5:1, 2, we learn that Christ was here
teaching His disciples. From Matthew 7:28, 29, it is clear that He
was also addressing a great multitude of the people. Thus it is
evident that this address of our Lord contains instruction both for
believers and unbelievers alike." Two chief obstacles lie in the
way of the salvation of any of Adam's fallen descendants: bondage
to the guilt and penalty of sin, bondage to the power and presence
of sin; or, in other words, their being bound for Hell and their
being unfit for Heaven. These obstacles are, so far as man is
concerned, entirely insurmountable. This fact was unequivocally
established by Christ, when, in answer to His disciples' question,
"Who then can be saved?," He answered, "with men this is
impossible." A lost sinner might more easily create a world than
save his own soul. But (forever be His name praised), the Lord
Jesus went on to say, "with God all things are possible" (Matt.
19:25, 26). Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian
evangelist and Biblical scholar. Born to Christian parents, prior
to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society and quickly
rose in prominence. His conversion came from his father's patient
admonitions from Scripture. It was Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way
which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to
renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
