Aprašymas

"What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?" (Matthew 16:26) CHRISTIAN SERMON ON TEMPTATION & SECRET SINS: Although written for the instruction of children, this remarkably powerful Puritan style sermon proves to be as soul stirring an admonition to the young and old alike. Using the Biblical story of Gehazi, servant of the prophet Elisha-2 Kings 5-this work methodically drives home the dangers of allowing temptation and sinful desire to take root within our hearts and entice us to sin. It carefully dissects the whole history of Gehazi, from the beginning of his covetous desire and enthusiastic resolution to sin, through the short lived success of his evil scheme, its detection and punishment. Special emphasis is placed upon the absolute necessity of repentance, a lively faith in Christ Jesus' atonement, and the continuous sanctification of all those who truly believe and rely upon God.
