Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol. 2 of 3 On the Manner of receiving the Grace of Christ Benefits which we derive from it, and the Effects which follow it. Argument. The two former books relate to God the Creator and Redeemer. This treats of God the Sanctifier, or of the operations of the Holy Spirit towards our salvation, being an accurate exposition of the third part of the Apostles´ Creed. The principal topics of this are seven, relating chiefly to one object, the doctrine of faith. First, Since our enjoyment of Christ and all his benefits depends on the secret and special operation of the Holy Spirit, it discusses this operation, which is the foundation of faith, newness of life, and all holy exercise - Chap. I. Secondly, Faith being as it were the hand by which we embrace Christ the Redeemer, as offered to us by the Holy Spirit, it next adds a complete description of faith - Chap. II. Thirdly, To improve our knowledge of this salutary faith, it proceeds to shew the effects which necessarily result from it; and contends that true penitence is always the consequence of true faith. But first it proposes the doctrine of repentance in general - Chap. III: and then treats of the Popish repentance and its constituent parts - Chap. IV. - of indulgences and purgatorial fire - Chap. V. But institutes a particular discussion of the two branches of true penitence, the mortification of the flesh, and the vivification of the spirit, or the life of a Christian, which is excellently described - Chap. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. Fourthly, In order to a clearer display of the advantages and consequences of this faith, it first treats of justification by faith - Chap. XI. - then explains the questions which arise from it - Chap. XII. XIII. XIV. XV. XVI. XVII. XVIIL - and, lastly, proceeds to a dissertation on Christian liberty, which is an appendage to justification - Chap. XIX.
