The second of the four-volume set of affordable paperbacks, with 24 spirit-filled teachings, differs from the foundation sermons in volume one. This 304-page affordable paperback book was written in the 1800's during the Great Awakening. In it are 24 sermons by George Whitefield.
Volume two answers each question for those who are "on the fence". What or who do you think Christ is? What do YOU believe about Him? Unbelievers smear His name and make light of His redemptive work. Whitefield asks the soul-searching question, what standing do you have to inherit eternal life along with Christ.
The existence of the lowly birth of Christ on your behalf signals the heart-wrenching humility of His lowly birth and how this reunites you with the Father. This very act shows the great mercy and tender heart of God towards sinners.
Christ's righteousness is ever before us in everlasting portion, imputed to you as a believer. When we are tempted and tried, Christ has rightly earned the spot of healing and redemption by giving His redemption for you.
This removing of the blot against you by His love to sinners removes the desire for profanity and vices. This turning teaches you to balance grace with holy living. Christ is as complete to you as a husband.
In volume two, you learn to grow in grace spiritually. Whitefield expounds on the marks of the Holy Spirit. His sermons state how we're not reframed but transformed by the renewal of our minds.
Biblical grace through Christ's redemptive work leads to the growth of grace, creating faith and a new creature within.
