Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures to Professing Christians
I said that these two extremes, that which makes relig ion to consist altogether m Outward works and that which makes it consist altogether in faith, are equally false and equally fatal. Those who make religion consist altogethei' in good works, overlook the fact that works themselves are not acceptable to God unless they proceed from faith. For without faith it is impossible to please him. And those who make, religion consist altogether in faith, overlook the fact that true faith always works by love, and invariably produces the works of love.

About the Author
Charles G. Finney (1792-1875) is recognized as the most effective evangelist of the 19th century. It is estimated that more than half a million people were converted to Christ through his evangelistic ministry. After becoming a lawyer he carefully explored the claims of Christ and was powerfully converted in 1821. An avid student of the Bible, he soon engaged in preaching and teaching throughout many eastern and southern states. The result was a revival which altered the course of American history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of lectures by a 19th-century religious leader on a key doctrine of the Christian faith: that those professing Christian beliefs, yet failing to act in accordance with them, are deceiving themselves. The author asserts that profession of faith must be accompanied by a corresponding course of action in order to be valid, and focuses not only on the abstract doctrines of the faith but their relation to human behavior. He argues that many churchgoers, while they may agree with the tenets of Christianity in theory, in practice deny them by their actions, making them no less guilty than those who outwardly reject the faith. Through a thorough examination of various biblical passages, the author challenges the notion that intellectual assent to Christian doctrines is sufficient for salvation, emphasizing instead the importance of obedience and the practice of love. He demonstrates how efforts to separate faith from practice lead to hypocrisy and ultimately undermine the credibility of the church. The book's insights are particularly significant in light of the tension between orthodoxy and orthopraxy in religious practice, and it challenges readers to critically examine their own beliefs and actions to ensure their faith is genuine and their conduct aligns with their professed values.
