Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter, Vol. 11 of 23: With a Life of the Author and a Critical Examination of His Writings Reader, I Take the love of God and Self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion; the first of the positive part, and the second of the oppositive or negative part: and 1 judge of the measure of my own, and all other men´s true piety, by these two. And it is the rarity of these two, which assureth me of the rarity of sincere godliness. O how much selfishness, and how little love of God, are too often found among those contenders for supposed true doctrine, true worship, true discipline, and the true church! Who can say that their zeal for these things doth eat up themselves, their charity, their peaceableness, and their brethren? The same men that will not abate an opinion, a formality, a singularity, for the church´s peace and concord, or for the interest of love, and the healing of our wounds, will as hardly abate a jot of their wealth, their worldly honour, their carnal interest, or selfish wills; which shews that their zeal and seeming orthodoxy and wisdom (as in them) is not from above, but from beneath; James iii. 15 - 17. O that men knew what heart´s-ease Self-denial bringeth, by mortifying all that corrupteth and troubleth the souls of sinners! And if that part of religion which seemeth hardest and harshest, be so sweet, what is our love and delight in God, but the foretaste of heaven itself. But the soul is seldom fit to relish this doctrine aright, till some special providence or conviction have made all the world notoriously insufficient for our relief.
