Kingdom Studies
Robert Govett
Soft cover; 280 pgs.
A collection of 14 tracts by Robert Govett published originally from 1870-1895.
Govett clearly and succinctly explains the difference between salvation as a free gift and the prize of the kingdom which the saved believer must still be found worthy of, with all of the verses supporting this difference. Highlights include:
-
The need to win the prize is seen in the figure of running a race (Heb. 12:1-2), and how to run in order to win, of which Paul himself was not certain (1 Cor 9:24-27).
-
Israel’s history includes a warning to the Church of not entering into our promised rest (1 Cor. 10:1-13).
-
Esau’s selling his birthright similarly warns believers not to gain temporal things at the expense of our spiritual inheritance (Heb. 10:16-17).
-
The too-often neglected warning by Jesus that while the rebirth by the Spirit allows us to “see” the kingdom of God in the present dispensation of grace, entrance into its 1000-year manifestation requires obedience to the command to be baptized (immersed) (John 3:3,5).
