Synopsis

""Holy In Christ"" is a religious book written by Andrew Murray and published in 1887. The book explores the concept of holiness and the calling of God's children to be holy as He is holy. Murray argues that holiness is not just a moral standard, but a divine attribute that can only be attained through a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. He emphasizes the importance of surrendering oneself to God and allowing Him to work in one's life to bring about true holiness. The book is divided into chapters that cover topics such as the nature of holiness, the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification, and the importance of obedience to God's will. Murray draws extensively from biblical scripture to support his arguments and offers practical advice for those seeking to live a holy life. ""Holy In Christ"" is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian spirituality and the pursuit of holiness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There is not in Scripture a word more distinctly Divine in its origin and meaning than the word holy. There is not a word that leads us higher into the mystery of Deity, nor deeper into the privilege and the blessedness of God’s children. And yet it is a word that many a Christian has never studied or understood. There are not a few who can praise God that during the past twenty years the watchword Be Holy has been taken up in many a church and Christian circle with greater earnestness than before. In books and magazines, in conventions and conferences, in the testimonies and the lives of believers, we have abundant tokens that what is called the Holiness-movement is a reality. And yet how much is still wanting! What multitudes of believing Christians there are who have none but the very vaguest thoughts of what holiness is! And of those who are seeking after it how many who have hardly learnt what it is to come to God’s Word and to God Himself for the teaching that can alone reveal this part of the mystery of Christ and of God! To many, holiness has simply been a general expression for the Christian life in its more earnest form, without much thought of what the term really means. In writing this little book, my object has been to discover in what sense God uses the word, that so it may mean to us what it means to Him. I have sought to trace the word through some of the most important passages of Holy Scripture where it occurs, there to learn what God’s holiness is, what ours is to be, and what the way by which we attain it. I have been specially anxious to point out how many and various the elements are that go to make up true holiness as the Divine expression of the Christian life in all its fulness and perfection. I have at the same time striven continually to keep in mind the wonderful unity and simplicity there is in it, as centred in the person of Jesus. As I proceeded in my work, I felt ever more deeply how high the task was I had undertaken in offering to guide others even into the outer courts of the Holy Place of the Most High. And yet the very difficulty of the task convinced me of how needful it was.

Biographie de l'auteur

Andrew Murray (1828-1917) - Born in Graaff Reinet, South Africa, Andrew grew up in a home filled with prayer and worship where his father, the Rev. Andrew Murray Sr., was ministering to Dutch settlers. At the age of 10 he was sent to school in Scotland and after college he went to Holland to study theology. As a result of the teachings of his father, his uncle (the Rev. John Murray), and many others he met during his schooling, the young man developed a very strong foundation of faith, prayer, worship, love for the lost, and above all the attitude that Jesus Christ should be the center of our attention. Ordained at the age of 20, Andrew returned to South Africa and started ministering to the Dutch farmers. In 1860 he became the pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church at Worcester. Later he would be part of the Keswick Movement and the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church of Wellington from 1871 to 1906. to 1906.
