Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Thomas Manton, D.D, Vol. 21: Containing Sermons on Several Texts of Scripture The apostle still pursueth his scope and purpose, which is to persuade Christians to take heed of sin, and living in sin. He argueth - 1. From our adoption, and how much that inferreth a likeness to God whose children we are. 2. With respect to the law, or the orders of God´s family, not to forfeit the offered privilege. 3. With respect to Christ, he urgeth two things - (1.) The holiness of his design; (2.) The innocency of his person. Both which dissuade us from living in sin. That which Christ came to destroy, and that which maketh us so unlike Christ, should not be allowed by Christians: ´And ye know that he was manifested to take away sin.´ 1. In the first argument redemption by Christ is propounded - [1.] As an evident truth. The sin and misery of the whole world was such, that it groaned for a saviour. Sin was the mortal disease that we were all sick of; then came the spiritual physician to take it away. The common necessity of mankind showed the misery, and the common light of Christianity showed the remedy. [2.] It is propounded as his great end and scope why he was manifested. Christ is manifested two ways - in the gospel and in the flesh. In the gospel: Titus ii. 11, ´The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men;´ 1 Peter i. 20, 1 But was manifest in these last times for you.´ Now the gospel showeth he came to take away sin: 1 Tim. i. 15, ´ This is a true and faithful saving, that Jesus Christ came to take away sin.´ But here manifested in the flesh: 1 Tim. in. 16, ´Great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifested in the flesh;´ and 1 John i. 2, ´The life was manifested, and we have seen it´ Christ, who heretofore lay hid in the bosom of God, now appeared, and was discovered to the world as his only-begotten Son. 2. In the second argument the innocency of Christ is propounded: ´In him was no sin.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
