Preface
About this book
Nineteen plain papers on the truths Ryle held “necessary to salvation”: the inspiration of Scripture, the soul, sin, forgiveness, justification, the cross, the Holy Ghost, conversion, faith and repentance, Christ’s invitation and intercession, election and perseverance. The doctrinal companion to Practical Religion and Knots Untied, it presses each truth home as a question the reader must answer for himself.
The saying of our Lord Jesus Christ, which stands at the head of this page, ought to ring in our ears like a trumpet-blast. It concerns our highest and best interests. It concerns OUR SOULS. What a solemn question these words of Scripture contain! What a mighty sum of profit and loss they propound to us for calculation!
