Believers in Jesus, as we read in the Scriptures, are "all children
of the light, and children of the day," and are privileged to "walk
in the light, as God is the light," God Himself being "their
everlasting light, and their God their glory." Thus "walking in the
light," they "have fellowship one with another;" and more than
this, "with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." Abiding in
this light and in this fellowship, their "joy is full," "out of
weakness they are made strong," in all conditions of existence they
find perfect content, and are "more than conquerors through Him
that hath loved us," and "having all sufficiency for all things,
are abundantly furnished for every good work." If all this is not
true of any believer, it is because he is living below his revealed
privileges, and is thus living because he does not "know the things
which are freely given us of God." It contradicts every true idea
of Christian character, to suppose that a true believer in Christ
will "walk in darkness," knowing that he may "walk in the light;"
will remain weak, knowing that he may be girded with "everlasting
strength;" and will continue "carnal, sold under sin," knowing that
he may enjoy "the glorious liberty of the sons of God." The
specific and exclusive object of the following treatise is to make
known to all who would know and understand their privileges as "the
sons of God" and "believers in Jesus," the forms of divine
knowledge above referred to. To the prayerful examination of all
who are "walking in the light," or are inquiring after the light,
the work is commended, with the fervent desire and prayer of the
author, that "their joy may be full." ASA MAHAN (1799-1889) was
America's foremost Christian educator, reformer, philosopher, and
pastor. He was founding president of two colleges and one
university, where he was able to inspire numerous reforms, publish
authoritative philosophical texts, and promote powerful revivals
like his close associate Charles Finney. He led the way on all
important fronts while being severely persecuted. He introduced the
new curriculum later adopted by Harvard, was the first to instruct
and grant liberal college degrees to white and colored women,
advised Lincoln during the Civil War, and among many other
remarkable achievements, was a father to the early evangelical and
holiness movements.
