Gospel Revelation

When Christ asked Peter, “Who do men say that I am?” He understood that opinions are as varied as the men who hold them. But the only trustworthy knowledge of God comes from God Himself. Only God’s revelation of Himself is infallible; only that revelation can be trusted to save a sin-sick soul.

In this treatise, Jeremiah Burroughs explains the nature and excellence of God’s revelation regarding Himself and His Son, Jesus Christ. And then he gives precious insight into the worth of the human soul, created by God to joyously serve and glorify Him. Sin debases a man, but a right relationship to God elevates him to the position of worth and dignity God gave him at first. True Christians can rejoice in this revelation.

“It is evil to be without bread, without friends, or without outward comforts; how great an evil is it then to be without God in the world?”

—Jeremiah Burroughs
