Here are a series of studies that appeared in The Present Truth magazine from 1896-1897. The first study carried the title “Bible Studies on the Christian Life”. The rest didn’t, but followed on in the same theme, in fairly chronological order (with a few gaps). So I’ve assembled them all into one booklet. 70p
There are a few important truths of the 1888 message that are clearly stated in these studies, and that later became cornerstones in the revival of the 1888 message brought by Fred Wright, and others. These are:
- Sin is a ruling power that men are enslaved to.
- Proper confession includes not just the fruit, but the root.
- Grace is a ruling power that delivers from the power of sin.
- Grace keeps us from sinning (brings perfection).
- The word of God has creative power.
- Trials are needed so we can experience the power of God’s word.
- We are to comfort others with the comfort we have received.
- The battle between Christ and Satan is to be finished within man’s heart.
