This inspiring call to action from J. C. Ryle explains why the
fight for holiness is one of absolute necessity, identifying the
three main enemies of every believer. Part of the Crossway Short
Classics series.
J. C. Ryle, accepted as one of the foremost Bible teachers of the
last 200 years, turns his attention to the future. He investigates
the nature of biblical prophecy, signs of the End Times, the Second
Coming of Christ and the future state of the Church. He is careful
not to push his interpretation of the texts, purposefully avoiding
anything that can be called speculative or conjectural. Ryle
analyses 8 passages and gives an 11-point summary of his
prophetical creed.
Now with a new foreword by John MacArthur.
J.C. Ryle's "Holiness" has imparted a standing challenge to
Christians for 130 years. In this new, slimmed-down series of
excerpts from Ryle's masterwork, we aim to present his original
message to a whole new generation. Holiness, Ryle argued, was not
simply a matter of believing and feeling, but of "doing."
J. C. Ryle's classic guide for Christians, wherein he outlines the
principles of sin, sanctification, spiritual growth and the
importance of Christ is published here complete. The spiritual
excellence displayed in J. C. Ryle's writings cannot be
underestimated: a lengthy introduction tells us the seven
aspirations which Ryle holds when teaching his fellow Christian.
Delving into great detail to explain each aim, and supporting his
statements by citing scripture, the author displays an impressive
devotion both to the Lord and to all believers who choose to read
his words. Moses is identified as being foremost among God's
saints, standing among the best examples of men ever lived. His
surrender of a high ranked position, his abstentious attitude to
worldly pleasures and wealth, and his opting for an ascetic life
full of hardships and pain in service of the Lord are mentioned.
Moses' followers were despised by others, yet he took up and
ultimately proved their cause.
J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according
to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before
moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.
In Holiness, J. C. Ryle speaks to the heart and soul of every man.
In a winning, approachable style, he wields the sword of the Spirit
like a skillful surgeon, piercing to the division of soul and
spirit, of joints and marrow. He addresses hard and trying subjects
which most modern evangelicals have chosen to ignore: the power and
depth of indwelling sin, the necessity of a holy life, the struggle
and fight of faith, counting the cost of following Christ... and
that's only in the first 5 chapters Ryle's treatment of the texts
which head the chapters is based on plain interpretation,
common-sense exegesis and practical application. He does not
side-step the difficult issues, but takes them head on, making
Christian theology and the principles of holy living seem so
simple, obvious and straight-forward that readers will wonder what
other Bible truths they've been missing all these years. Christian,
read J. C. Ryle. You will not regret it. He is a man who first and
foremost loved the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the vital center of
all his teaching and writing and the sole reason for his great
power in ministry. Whether you are an erudite scholar or a
hard-laboring farmer, a pastor or a layman, a spiritual elder or a
babe in Christ--no matter where you are--Ryle's writings are for
you. The love of Christ and the faith of this great 18th century
saint cling to every page like an aromatic perfume.
