The True Believer

Description

What are the marks of a true believer? And what are the blessings that come to those with true faith? These eternally significant questions are addressed in this collection of eight sermons by the great New England preacher Jonathan Edwards. Following the common practice of his Puritan predecessors, Edwards helps us discern the differences between true and counterfeit faith. He also holds forth the everlasting benefits of having Christ as our own.

“Jonathan Edwards is known for the complexity of his thought. In these sermons, he brings that intellect to bear on the ‘simple’ truths of the gospel—repentance, faith, and assurance of God’s love. Many people know Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”; this collection of sermons extends our appreciation of Edwards’s ability to show the power and the beauty of the gospel to a needy world.” — Stephen G. Myers, professor of systematic and historical theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
