Description
This 281 page book is a collection of expositions on the spiritual life from the able pen of G. D. Watson, who has been called "The Apostle to the Sanctified." He writes: "When we are born of the Spirit there is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, a peculiar and hitherto unknown love for God and his Son Jesus. It is an exotic transplanted from a celestial clime by the hand of God; it is a personal attachment to our heavenly Father, a heart passion toward the Lord Jesus, an ineffable yearning for the Divine, an instinctive and dominant regard for the things of God which is utterly beyond the products of nature. No fine heredity, no degree of culture, no drilling in religious ceremonials, no rigid discipline of law, no literary sentimentalism, no study of the material works of God, no poetical genius, no mere influence of Christianity can ever produce that heavenly, seraphic affection designated in the word agape. It is a river whose head waters are in a better world. It is a spring from the heart of God. It is poured like a cataract upon the world through the atonement. It is opened up in our hearts in regeneration; and under the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost it rises to high tide, filling the banks of our being till the heart, the speech, the intellectual faculties, and all the inner senses are deluged with its holy energy.
About the Author
George D. Watson (1845-1923) was one of the most influential preachers of the late nineteenth century holiness movement in America. Together with his friends and colleagues, Martin Wells Knapp and W. B. Godbey, he was used by the Holy Spirit to sustain and propagate the revival of Methodism which swept across North America and reached across the seas to touch even the British Isles and, in Watson’s case, the South Seas.
While serving in the army, he came to a saving knowledge of Christ, and after the war entered the ministry in the Methodist Church. He became known as a strong proponent of the sanctified life, employing a simple homespun style that endeared him to the common man. However, despite his everyman manner, his expository sermon method resulted in truths that are still applicable for the twenty-first century.
