Christ And The Christian In Temptation Counsel And Consolation For The Tempted PDF Download

"O my soul! Nothing comes between you and God but the atoning blood of Jesus. His blood annihilates all your sin and guilt. Robed in His imputed righteousness, you are to God nearer than the highest angel in heaven--and nearer you can not be--and God draws near to you and speaks--"A God at hand, says the Lord." "It is because we have such shallow views of God's love that we have such defective views of God's dealings. We blindly interpret the symbols of His providence, because we so imperfectly read the engravings of His heart." "Admirably true to its title. It consists, we presume, of a series of sermons on a theme which can never become obsolete. The author does not deal with the difficulties urged by the Rationalistic critics, but simply regards Our Lord's temptation as identical in all its essential features with the temptations through which we also, as His disciples, must pass. Dr. Winslow is a careful and reverent thinker, and writes with peculiar grace and beauty of expression. He is never weak or commonplace. His words will afford wise counsel and effective consolation to all who read them. We cordially commend this valuable work." -The Baptist Magazine, 1878 CONTENTS: Preface 1.
