Description: This Treatise commendeth it self to thy acceptance upon a double account, the one is, the known worth of the Authour, the other is, the great usefulness of the subject matter: The Authour was Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, no Novice in the things of God, but one that for a long time, both beyond the Seas, and at home, in City and in Countrey, did keep up the vigour of a convincing Ministery, which the Lord did abundantly prosper, to the converting of some, and building up of others, and no doubt to the conviction of many more, who shall one day know, that a Prophet of the Lord hath been amongst them: Besides, hee was one of an exemplary godliness, and of long experience in the waies of God; of whose excellent spirit the world hath had a sufficient taste, inthose choyse Treatises already published under his name; Certainly, from such an able head, and holy heart, nothing can bee expected that is cheap and mean. It is a losse, a losse that cannot enough bee bewailed, that so eminent and usefull an Instrument, is now by Death taken away from his publick Ministerial labours: there is no murmuring against the hand of God, but the wasting of the Old stock of our able Ministers should bee more laid to heart; alass! wee that are to succeed in the Lords Work with what a weak and unequal pace do we follow their great examples? and being too too early, by the removal of such choyse instruments, put upon publick services, no wonder if wee faint under the burden. It is some recompense for this losse, that this worthy servant of God, did (to honour his own Ministery, which was most consolatory) single out such Treatises as might bee of most use to publick benefit and edification. The other reason, is, the usefulness of the subject matter. Of all Graces Faith is the chiefest, of the most universal and constant confluence on the spiritual life; Wee work by Love, but wee live by Faith. In the chain of Graces, described 2 Pet. 1:5, 6, 7. the first link is Faith, as giving strength and efficacy to all the rest; what is the grace that yeeldeth the Lord the glory of his Mercy, Veracity, and Power, but Faith? it honoureth God more than an uniform, entire obedience to the whole Moral Law in Innocency could possibly have done, and pleaseth him more than hee was displeased with the sin of Adam; All graces keep time and pace with Faith, if Faith bee weak, Love cannot bee strong, nor Obedience carried on in an even tenour, the back of Patience will soon bee broken, and Temperance exercise but a weak and feeble restraint on our lusts and passions, till wee learn to counter-ballance present Delights with future Enjoyments. Faith is the Eye of the soul, to see things to come, and the Hand of the soul, to receive Jesus Christ, and all benefits in him. Faith,——But I will not digresse into the common place; Certainly, no Treatise of Faith can bee unwelcome to a gracious heart, especially such a one as this is, where matters are carried on with such evidence and demonstration of the Spirit, and, as to the stile, with a sweet elegancy, and yet tempered with gravity and judgement.

Christian Books & Bibles

Independently published

“Am I really a Christian?” At one time or another, all believers encounter periods of doubt regarding the genuineness of their faith. In this book, Puritan pastor Obadiah Sedgwick explores the kinds of doubt that commonly arise in the context of true saving faith, gently guiding the reader through fourteen circumstances likely to produce uncertainty. Using the Bible as a roadmap, the author helps us navigate away from the rocky shoals of doubt into the safe harbor of assurance. Obadiah Sedgwick (c.1600–1658) was a Presbyterian pastor and member of the Westminster Assembly. Originally published in 1641, this classic treatise has been carefully prepared to benefit a new generation of Christian readers. Archaic language has been gently modernized, and helpful footnotes have been added to aid the reader. This edition includes a foreword by Dr. Don Kistler, a biographical preface, Scripture index, and review questions designed to facilitate group discussion or personal reflection.

The Doubting Believer

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

This Treatise which now is presented to a publike construction, was (many yeers past) the subject of my private Meditations and Sermons. I did not affect any farther publication of it, then in the Pulpit; but the importunity of others hath compelled it thus to appear in Print. Not that the manner of handling the Subject (here insisted on) is excellent or exquisite, but that the matter handled may be supposed to be of common use & benefit; as a little star hath influence, though not that glory which is proper to the Sun.The case which is here put & discussed, is a case of common experience; there is no beleever, but sometime or other will confess it is his. The Sun being seated in an heavenly orb, shineth with a very pure & constant light, but the candle (though set, & burning in a golden candlestick, yet) burns with a snuffe, & much variablenesse. When Christians are translated, and transplanted from earth to heaven then their graces shall become perfections; there are no defects in heaven, there are no mixtures inheaven, but whatsoever is pure there, it is altogether pure: yet on earth it is otherwise, neither the habits of grace, nor the acts of grace are alone in any Christian: When I would doe good, evil is present with me, said Paul; And, I beleeve, Lord, help my unbelief, said that poor man in the Gospel. Where is the beleever who insists not more on his fears then on his faith? and is not oftner lamenting his doubts, then rejoycing in his assurances? none have an interest in Christ, but beleevers; none have title to a solid and setled peace, but they; and yet we see the children fearful, & bondmen confident; the best of men still in suit, & the worst of men quiet, as if in ful possession; none doubting less then such as have most cause to doubt, & none doubting more then such as have most cause to triumph in Christ. And in truth thus it wil be, whiles gross ignorance veils over presumptuous sinners, and misbelief is incident to tender spirits.And is not the hand of Joab in this business too? Is not Satan in all the sins of wicked men, and in most of the troubles of good men? either he tempts us to sin, & that will cause us to doubt; or else hee tempts us to doubt, and that wil cause us to sin. Surely it is not the shortest of his wiles and arts, in matters of Religion, to keepe the judgements of some still staggering; and in matters of a souls interest in Christ, to keep the heart still doubting. Doth he not know that the Christian canot so happily improve Christ, who is stilin suit to prove his title to Christ?For the better expediting of these soul-suits, peruse (if thou pleasest) this ensuing Work, which is (I confess) not a garden for every one to walk in, but only physick for the sick or weak. It is intended as an Hospital for the lame, only for a troubled sinner, only for a weak believer: And the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, even he who establisheth us in Christ, prosper it for his glory and the help of some one or other.Thy faiths servant,OBADIAH SEDGWICK.

Christ's Counsel to His Languishing Church

Soli Deo Gloria Pubns

Like his Puritan colleagues, Obadiah Sedgwick was a wise observer of providence. In Providence Handled Practically, he shows how the over-ruling hand of God should be considered as it comes to bear on the life of the Christian and the church. After briefly explaining the words of Matthew 10:29-31, he distinguishes between God's general and special providence. Then follows an extensive discussion of the practical use of this doctrine. This edition has been edited for modern readers and has an introductory essay by Joel R. Beeke and Matthew Winzer. Read it, pass it along to a friend, and be comforted by the God who promises to never forsake the works of His own hands.
