Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Thomas Manton, D. D, Vol. 12: Containing Several Sermons Upon the Eight Chapter of Romans; And Sermons Upon 2 Corinthians V In the context, we have an assertion of a general truth, ´There is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.´ We have this application in the beginning of this verse, lest any should raise up a vain confidence that they were in Christ, and therefore freed from condemnation, without regarding what he had before said, expounding himself: ver. 1, ´Who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.´ He here further adds as an application of the proposition, ´he who hath not the Spirit of Christ, is none of his;´ which, because they were Christians in profession, was more accommodate to them. Here observe - Doct. That all true Christians have the spirit of Christ. 1. I suppose there are Christians, or Christ´s disciples in name, and disciples indeed: John viii. 31. As an Israelite indeed: John i. 47; Rom. ii. 29. The apostle distinguished of a Jew in the letter, and a Jew in the spirit. So, by just analogy and proportion, there are Christians in the letter, that have the outside of Christians, but not the life and power. We are only Christians in name and profession till we have the Spirit. 2. I assert, that which discriminateth the one from the other, is the having the Spirit. It is a mark both exclusive and inclusive; some marks are exclusive, but not inclusive: John i. 47, He that is of God, heareth Gods word: ye, therefore, hear them not, because ye are not of God; that is exclusive. Acts xiii. 46, ´But seeing ye put away the word of God from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life;´ that is also exclusive. There are inclusive marks, but not exclusive, as: Rom. ix. 1, 2, 3, ´I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart; for I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
