A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of
this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry
during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the
deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each
generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a
theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal
relationship of yielding to him and living according to his
biblical precepts. Pink??'s book explores attributes such as
God??'s decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and
mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful
for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all
names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches,
but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through
his living Word. Arthur W. Pink (1886???1952) served as a pastor
for churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
His ministry brought him throughout the United States, Australia,
and Great Britain.
The words Christ spoke from the cross can inform Christians of the
purpose, the meaning, the sufferings, and the sufficiency of his
death. After an introduction that discusses the nature of Christ's
death as natural, unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural, Dr.
Arthur W. Pink clearly illustrates the lessons that can be drawn
from Christ's words-lessons on forgiveness, salvation, affection,
anguish, suffering, victory, and contentment. This comprehensive
and accessible volume is useful for both sermon preparation and
personal study.
An unforgettably beautiful picture of our Lord is drawn for God's
people in the beloved Gospel of John. The promises in this Fourth
Gospel have brought to weary hearts down through the centuries the
sudden delight of the traveler who, crossing a desert, suddenly
comes upon the cool, tranquil comfort of a green-bordered oasis.
Thoroughly scholastic and yet vigorously practical, this exposition
of the beloved Gospel (a verse-by-verse running commentary) is not
a "hasty production." The author has already devoted fifteen years
of special study to John's Gospel and taught the book to five
different classes in the course of as many pastorates besides
lecturing on it frequently from the Bibles conference platform. He
has diligently sought to do two things (and accomplished them with
praiseworthy distinction): (1) obtain from God the meaning of the
text, and (2) apply its lessons most effectively to his hearers and
readers.
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.
Arthur W. Pink Collection Vol 1 includes three Arthur Pink
classics; The Divine Inspiration of the Bible, Profiting From The
Word, and Divine Healing: Is It Scriptural. "Christianity is the
religion of a Book. Christianity is based upon the impregnable rock
of Holy Scripture. The starting point of all doctrinal discussion
must be the Bible. Upon the foundation of the Divine inspiration of
the Bible stands or falls the entire edifice of Christian
truth.-"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous
do?" (Ps. 11:3). Surrender the dogma of verbal inspiration and you
are left like a rudderless ship on a stormy sea-at the mercy of
every wind that blows. Deny that the Bible is, without any
qualifications, the very Word of God, and you are left without any
ultimate standard of measurement and without any supreme authority.
It is useless to discuss any doctrine taught by the Bible until you
are prepared to acknowledge, unreservedly, that the Bible is the
final court of appeal. Grant that the Bible is a Divine revelation
and communication of God's own mind and will to men, and you have a
fixed starting point from which advance can be made into the domain
of truth. Grant that the Bible is (in its original manuscripts)
inerrant and infallible and you reach the place where study of its
contents is both practicable and profitable." "There is grave
reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study has been
of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it. We greatly fear
that in many instances it has proved a curse rather than a
blessing. This is strong language, we are well aware, yet no
stronger than the case calls for. Divine gifts may be misused, and
Divine mercies abused. That this has been so in the present
instance is evident by the fruits produced. Even the natural man
may take up the study of the Scriptures with the same enthusiasm
and pleasure as he might of the sciences. Where this is the case,
his store of knowledge is increased, and so also is his pride. Like
a chemist engaged in making interesting experiments, the
intellectual searcher of the Word is quite elated when he makes
some discovery in it; but the joy of the latter is no more
spiritual than would be that of the former. Again, just as the
successes of the chemist generally increase his sense of
self-importance and cause him to look with disdain upon others more
ignorant than himself, so alas, is it often the case with those who
have investigated Bible numerics, typology, prophecy and other such
subjects." "Divine healing?" Is it scriptural or unscriptural? This
is a question which it is not easy to answer in a single sentence.
Many passages on healing may be cited from God's Word, but that
raises the question of their interpretation-in accord with the
context and also in harmony with the general Analogy of Faith: as
it also calls for a careful examination of all inferences drawn
from and conclusions based upon those passages." Arthur Walkington
Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known
for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born
to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a
Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England
during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their

"The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental
apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy Scripture. An
unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this
booklet an effort has been made to set forth some of the principal
perfections of the Divine character. If the reader is to truly
profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he needs to
definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him, to apply
His Truth to the conscience and heart, so that his life will be
transformed thereby. "Something more than a theoretical knowledge
of God is needed by us. God is only truly known in the soul as we
yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all
the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments."

"After all that has been spoken and written by godly men on prayer,
we need something better than that which is of mere human origin to
guide us if we are to perform aright this essential duty. How
ignorant and sinful creatures are to endeavor to come before the
Most High God, how they are to pray acceptably to Him and to obtain
from Him what they need, can be discovered only as the great Hearer
of prayer is pleased to reveal His will to us. This He has done:
(1) by opening up a new and living way of access into His immediate
presence for the very chief of sinners; (2) by appointing prayer as
the chief means of intercourse and blessing between Himself and His
people; and (3) by graciously supplying a perfect pattern after
which the prayers of His people are to be modeled." Arthur

Arthur Pink wrote The Holy Spirit to help Christians better
understand ?the Third Person of the Godhead? and further their
Christian development. In The Holy Spirit Pink addresses such
matters as; The Third Person of the Godhead, The Personality of the
Holy Spirit, The Work of the Spirit, Honoring the Spirit, And much
more. "The need for the study of the Holy Spirit is real and
pressing. Ignorance of the Third Person of the Godhead is most
dishonoring to Him, and highly injurious to ourselves. The late
George Smeaton of Scotland began his excellent work upon the Holy
Spirit by saying, ?Wherever Christianity has been a living power,
the doctrine of the Holy Spirit has uniformly been regarded,
equally with the Atonement and Justification by faith, as the
article of a standing or falling church. The distinctive feature of
Christianity as it addresses itself to man's experience, is the
work of the Spirit, which not only elevates it far above all
philosophical speculation, but also above every other form of
religion.? Arthur Walkington was an English Christian evangelist

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). God has a "people," the
objects of His special favor: a company whom He has taken into such
intimate relationship unto Himself that He calls them "My people."
Often they are disconsolate: because of their natural corruption's,
the temptations of Satan, the cruel treatment of the world, the low
state of Christ's cause upon earth. The "God of all comfort" (2
Cor. 1:3) is very tender of them, and it is His revealed will that
His servants should bind up the brokenhearted and pour the balm of
Gilead into their wounds. What cause have we to exclaim "Who is a
God like unto Thee " (Micah 7:18), who has provided for the comfort
of those who were rebels against His government and transgressors
of His Law. The contents of this little volume have appeared from
time to time in our monthly magazine during the last thirty years.
They were, previously, sermons which we preached long ago in the
U.S.A. and Australia. Here and there is an expression (especially
where Prophecy is touched upon) that we would not use today; but
since the Lord was pleased to bless them in their original form to
not a few of His distressed people, we have not revised them. May
it please Him to speak peace by them to afflicted souls today, and
the glory shall be His alone. Pink (1890-1953) was a Baptist
Preacher in England, Australia, and the United States. He is most
famous for his book The Sovereignty of God. After its advent, he,
assisted by his editor Mr. I. Herendeen, launched his yearly
publication, Studies in the Scriptures in 1921. These continued
until his death, totaling altogether 33 volumes of 288 pp. each.
Most of Pink's books are taken from these yearly volumes (written
monthly in 24 page format).
Today is a day of lawlessness. The spirit of our times is one of
unbounded "freedom," one of casting off all restraints, despising
all authority. Since God Himself is no longer feared by the
majority, many no longer respect the God-ordained authority of
governments, parents, church leaders, and educators. Because of
abounding iniquity on every hand, the love of many professing
Christians for their God and His Law has grown cold, just as Christ
prophesied (Matthew 24: 12) . Yet we see in Holy Scripture that the
only true freedom is freedom from sin. Concerning the purpose of
Christ's coming into the world, God's angel Gabriel said to Joseph,
"And thou shalt call His name JESUS (that is, JEHOVAH is Savior'):
for He shall save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1: 21) . The
Lord Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free" (John 8: 32) . Free from what? Free from sin Jesus Christ
Himself is the Truth, and to know Him is to be free both from the
power of reigning sin and from sin's soul-destroying consequences,
not simply in the world to come but in this present life as well.
The Lord Jesus Himself was well acquainted with the supreme joy of
the Godward life of obedience to God's Law and freedom from sin.
During His earthly walk, He was a Lawkeeper par excellence. To
think, that the Second Person of the holy Trinity, Jehovah the
eternal Word, the Lawgiver of Israel, was "made of a woman, made
under the Law" (Galatians 4: 4) for our redemption Think on this:
the salvation that has been freely given to you, simply by your
having trusted in Christ's blood and righteousness, was procured by
Him, your substitute, at the highest possible cost. The salvation
that is''all of grace'' to you was earned, ''all of works, '' by
your Savior And yet He obeyed every commandment with the purest
delight, saying, ''My meat (food) is to do the will of Him that
sent Me, and to finish His work'' (John 4: 34). Christ could say in
the words of Job (23: 12), yet with far greater truthfulness,
''Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have
esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.'' Mr.
Pink's exposition of God's Moral Law is not exhaustive, for that is
impossible. The Psalmist says, ''I have seen the end of all
perfection: but Thy commandment is exceeding broad'' (Psalm 119:
96). Nevertheless, Mr. Pink gets o the root of man's need. He ably
demonstrates the way in which God's Spirit uses the Law: (1) in
bringing men to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ (by bringing
them to the end of themselves); and (2) in producing in them an
increasing ''family resemblance, '' a holy likeness to their Father
in heaven (which is the fruit of true saving faith). If you will
read this book prayerfully, then God will graciously enable you to
cry out with the Psalmist, ''O how love I Thy law It is my
meditation all the day'' (Psalm 119: 97). Pink (1890-1953) was a
