Help for Christian Living

The Life of Faith consists of a series of articles mostly taken from various published books by A.W.Pink. The last two chapters were taken from 'The Studies in the Scriptures from which most of the authors books were compiled and published after his death in 1952. In the publihers introduction they assert that the best of Pink's writings are those in which he deals with practical aspects of the Christian life. This book falls in that category. There is much here to help the Christian in his daily walk with God. Mr.Pinks definition of 'progressive santication' on p.62 is outstanding,"If by progressive sanctification be meant a clearer understanding and fuller apprehension of what God has made Christ to be unto the believer and of his perfect standing and state in him;if by it be meant the believer living more and more in the enjoyment and power of that,with the corresponding influenceand effect it will have upon his character and conduct;if by it be meant a growth of faith and an increase of its fruits,manifested in a holy walk;then we have no objection to the term." The last chapter of the book 'Grace Preparing for Glory' has not been published previously in any of Pink's books. It deals with how the believer ought to be living in the light of Christ's second coming. On p.152 Mr. Pink instructs the reader as to what is produced in the life of one who has been a recipient of the grace of God; "Divine grace teaches its favoured recipients subjectively as well as objectively, effectually as well as theoretically. Grace in the heart prevents us from abusing grace in the head: it delivers us from making grace the lackey of sin. Where the grace of God brings salvation to the soul, it works effectually. And what is it that grace teaches? Practical holiness. Grace does not eradicate ungodliness and worldly lusts,but it causes us to deny them." I believe this book if read and taken to heart will under God's blessing promote Biblical holiness in the heart and life of the Christian reader.
