Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... THE FIRST EPISTLE OF JOHN Are you certain that you are a Christian? Are you conscious of fellowship with the Father and with his Son? Are you confident that by faith in Christ you have been "born again" and that you are a true "child of God?" To answer such questions this epistle was composed. The writer states his purpose quite clearly: "These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God." The phrase "eternal life" does not mean merely endless existence; it denotes not only the length, but also the kind, of life; it suggests a relation, not to time, but to God; it describes the life revealed in Christ and shared by those who put their trust in him. The assurance that one has this "life" is not mystical or mysterious. The knowledge is based upon grounds which are simple and plain. They are chiefly three: faith and righteousness and love. They correspond to three great affirmations in reference to God made by the writer: "God is light," "He is righteous," "God is love." If such is the nature of the Father, then his children will be like him; they will believe in his Son who is "the light of the world"; they will be righteous "even as he is righteous"; they will "love the children of God"; and they will "love God and do his commandments." Thus belief and righteousness and love are declared to be tests of "eternal life." They can be absent from the experience of no real Christian. The epistle, however, is much more than a mere series of tests. So conscious are we of the imperfection of our faith and holiness and love, that such tests might be applied in such a way as to tease and torment the truest follower of Christ. The writer aims to comfort and to...

Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... ST. JAMES. i--4. Trials and their Purpose. James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, 1 to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 1--4. Trials And Their Purpose. 1. a servant of God and of the Lord fesus Christ The description which the writer gives of himself throws no light on his identity. The term "servant," better slave, as one who had been bought with a price (1 Cor. vi. 20, vii. 43), was used of themselves by both St Peter (2 Pet. i. 1) and St Paul (Rom. i. 1; Titus i. 1). It might be claimed by either of the Apostles who bore the name of James, or by the brother of our Lord, or indeed by any believer. (1 Pet. ii. 16). It may be noted that this and ch. ii. 1 are the only passages in which St James names our Lord, and that the form in which the Name appears is identical with that in the Epistle from the Apostles and Elders assembled under St James's presidency, in Acts xv. 26. to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad Literally, that are in the dispersion. The superscription is interesting as shewing that the ten tribes of the Kingdom of Israel, though they had been carried into a more distant exile than Judah and Benjamin, were thought of, not as lost and out of sight, but as still sharing the faith and hope of their fathers. So St Paul speaks of "the twelve-tribed nation" as "serving God day and night" (Acts xxvi. 7), and our Lord's promise that His twelve disciples should sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matt. xix. 28), and the Apocalyptic vision of the sealing of the tribes (Rev. vii. 5--8) imply the same belief. The legend as to the disappearance of the Ten Tribes, which has given rise to so many insane dreams as to their identification with the Red Indians of America or our...
