Description
"The Saints' Everlasting Rest is an updated abridgment of a classic text in Richard Baxter's corpus. In it he argues that we can live a godly life on earth by daily dwelling and meditating on the thought of heaven in order to prepare ourselves for it. We should focus our minds on our eternal rest, not just on the pleasures, distractions, and temptations of our earthly existence. This edition introduces the text and makes it accessible to the modern reader"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
In the throes of a long illness and confronting the possibility of death, 17th-century theologian Richard Baxter found comfort in the reality of heaven that awaits believers of Christ. During his recovery, Baxter wrote about the afterlife in what would become his best-selling book. The Saints' Everlasting Rest meditates on what Scripture reveals about heaven, helping believers live an abundant, God-honoring life in anticipation of eternal rest. Baxter encourages readers not to become distracted or discouraged by the temporal as he refocuses their minds on the eternal. Confronting difficult topics including sin, suffering, and fear of death, he also emphasizes God's sufficient grace and how the promise of heaven enriches life on earth.
