Excerpt from Lectures to Professing Christians
I said that these two extremes, that which makes relig ion to consist altogether m Outward works and that which makes it consist altogether in faith, are equally false and equally fatal. Those who make religion consist altogethei' in good works, overlook the fact that works themselves are not acceptable to God unless they proceed from faith. For without faith it is impossible to please him. And those who make, religion consist altogether in faith, overlook the fact that true faith always works by love, and invariably produces the works of love.

Excerpt from Lectures to Professing Christians
I do not succeed in convincing you that any doctrine I may maintain is really true, that is another afiair. That is reason enough why you should not do it. But if I do succeed in proving from the scriptures, and convincing your understanding, that it is true, and yet you do not practice it, I shall then have the evidence before my own eyes what your character is, and no longer deceive myself with the idea that this is a Christian church.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of lectures by a 19th-century religious leader on a key doctrine of the Christian faith: that those professing Christian beliefs, yet failing to act in accordance with them, are deceiving themselves. The author asserts that profession of faith must be accompanied by a corresponding course of action in order to be valid, and focuses not only on the abstract doctrines of the faith but their relation to human behavior. He argues that many churchgoers, while they may agree with the tenets of Christianity in theory, in practice deny them by their actions, making them no less guilty than those who outwardly reject the faith. Through a thorough examination of various biblical passages, the author challenges the notion that intellectual assent to Christian doctrines is sufficient for salvation, emphasizing instead the importance of obedience and the practice of love. He demonstrates how efforts to separate faith from practice lead to hypocrisy and ultimately undermine the credibility of the church. The book's insights are particularly significant in light of the tension between orthodoxy and orthopraxy in religious practice, and it challenges readers to critically examine their own beliefs and actions to ensure their faith is genuine and their conduct aligns with their professed values. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
