John Flavel Knihy

Jak může křesťan objevit Boží vůli v nejasných situacích? Co mu může pomoci, když Bůh pozdržuje vyslyšení modliteb? Jak může poznat, zda určitý Boží skutek má opravdu původ v Boží lásce? Jak může mít klidnou mysl, když je jeho život plný změn? Jak může přijmout Boží vůli, když přináší velké nesnáze a trápení?

John Flavel shows Christ as our fountain of true joy: secured for his people by his humiliation and his exaltation. By humiliation, Flavel means the incarnation - Christ's birth, ministry, and death - by exaltation he means the four stages of resurrection, ascension, intercession, and His return in judgment. Flavel shows this twofold act (humiliation and exaltation) is the foundation of our joy because through them Christ has removed our debt and secured our inheritance. 'The believer knows,' says Flavel, 'that however sweet his communion with Christ is in this world, yet that communion he will have with Christ in heaven will far excel it.'

The ancients believed that there were as many sins of the tongue as letters in the alphabet, while the Apostle James described the tongue as 'a world of iniquity'. The Puritan preacher, John Flavel, was often grieved by the language used by professing Christians. Here he warns against several forms of sinful speech and points to the Spirit's 'excellent way to season our words, and keep them sweet and sound...' (Col. 4:6).

If my pen were both able, and at leisure, to get glory in paper, it would be but a paper glory when I had gotten it; but if by displaying (which is the design of these papers) the transcendent excellency of Jesus Christ, I may win glory to him from you, to whom I humbly offer them, or from any other into whose hands providence shall cast them, that will be glory indeed, and an occasion of glorifying God to all eternity.
