About This Book

This work offers a systematic devotional exposition of the Johannine declaration that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, treating each term in turn and drawing practical applications for believers. It outlines how Christ functions as the way for justification and sanctification, including the mortification of the old self, growth in grace, and daily removal of guilt and impurity. It examines Christ as truth, addressing growth in knowledge, comfort and steadfastness amid error and oppression. It treats Christ as life, showing how he sustains faith during heartlessness, deadness, unbelief, and loss of divine favor. Interwoven is a pastoral critique of moralistic rationalism and appeals to reliance on Christ alone.
