Pink: the Savior from sin

Sunday, December 29, 2019
    Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170
Meditation:
    But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
    —Matthew 1:20-21 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day “evangelist.” He announces a Saviour from hell rather than a Saviour from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.
    ... A. W. Pink (1886-1952), Studies in the Scriptures, volume 9, p. 9-10 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your people long for that day when they shall sin no more. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
