Pursuing Holiness in the Lord

Holiness is something to be pursued, though never in our own strength. Here Jonathan Edwards explores the believer's essential role in God's work of sanctification. The three sermons made accessible in this volume- "The Character of Paul an Example to the Christians", "Hope and Comfort Usually Follow Genuine Humiliation and Repentance", and "The Preciousness of Time"- guide us past the rival pitfalls of lawlessness and works-righteousness.

T. M. Moore has divided these selections into thirteen brief chapters, added introductory remarks and subheadings, and concluded each chapter with questions to promote reflection and application.

"There can hardly be a subject of more importance for the followers of Jesus Christ  today than that of sactification. In these pluralistic, relativistic, and 'tolerant' times, many Christians have begun to dance to the piper of postmodernism and have lost sight of our calling to follow the apostle Paul in pressing on in holiness in the Lord. The sermons by Jonathan Edwards included in this volume can provide a healthy and encouraging corrective to our faltering faith, and lead us to heights of holiness, joy and powerful living that can bring renewal to our lives, our churches, and our culture."

-Robert M. Norris, from the introduction

"Once again God and his grace take center stage... as the great Northampton preacher leads us through three sermons showing how God is pleased to work out his salvation in the lives of those who love him."

-T. M. Moore, from the editor's preface
