{"product_id":"2940012693228","title":"The Precepts of the Word of God","description":"Encouraged by the kind way in which our \"Meditations on Various Important Points of our Most Holy Faith\" have been thus far received by many of our gracious readers, we feel a willing mind to continue following onward in the same track; and as hitherto we have found, we hope, seasonable help from the only Source of all light and life, so would we now at the opening of another year, and the commencement of a fresh subject, lift up our soul in unison, we trust, with theirs, that \"the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened,\" that as the Lord the Spirit may be pleased to bring before our mind and lay upon our heart any portion of his precious word which may seem to us to be of vital importance, or of an edifying nature, we may unfold it with that \"demonstration of the spirit and of power\" which shall, as \"seasoned with salt,\" not only minister grace unto our readers, (Col. 4:6; Eph. 4:29,) but shall, \"by manifestation of the truth, commend itself to every man's conscience in the sight of God.\" (Eph. 1:17, 18; 1 Cor. 2:4: 2 Cor. 4:2.)\u003cbr\u003eIt is indeed a high privilege conferred upon us, a favor from on high for which we cannot feel sufficiently thankful, that the Lord should condescend to make any use of so weak and worthless an instrument to communicate any measure of instruction, comfort, or encouragement to any of those whom he has eternally loved, and whom he is leading through many a painful path of trial and affliction to a knowledge of his love here, that they may enjoy it in its full fruition hereafter. And as the Lord has been pleased, for his own wise purposes, to lay us aside, for a time at least, from the active work of the ministry, we feel doubly bound to avail ourselves of the privilege still granted to us to communicate with his dear people by our pen, and thus be neither idle ourselves, nor wholly unprofitable to the Church of God. We purpose, therefore, with God's help and blessing, to bring before our readers in this and several following papers some thoughts upon the preceptive part of the word of truth, and especially as contained in and enforced by the Scriptures of the New Testament.","brand":"Philpot Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081661497584,"sku":"2940012693228","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012693228_p0.jpg?v=1763571835","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012693228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
