Description

About this book

"The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 5 (of 6) : Containing…." by George Whitefield is a collection of sermons written in the late 18th century. The volume gathers evangelical expositions on Scripture that press themes of human sin, Christ’s redeeming work, conversion, holy living, and practical devotion. Expect vigorous, plainspoken appeals, doctrinal clarity about grace versus works, and pastoral guidance for daily piety. The opening of the volume presents transcriber’s notes, a title page outlining sermons, tracts, and letters, a detailed contents list, and then launches into the sermons. Sermon I expounds Genesis 3:15, retelling the Fall, exposing Satan’s subtlety, contrasting human fig‑leaf righteousness with God’s grace, identifying the “seed of the woman” as Christ, and arguing that salvation rests on the covenant of grace rather than human conditions; it urges believers to expect persecution yet promises Christ’s ultimate victory.
