Walk in the Spirit

by: Hugh Turford

The primitive Christians built on a sure rock, a living foundation, on Christ as He was in all ages, and still is—on His spiritual appearance as the light of the world, and the life of righteousness. His work of sanctification is inward, and is to be effected by inward means. Nothing but inward light can expel inward darkness; nothing less than eternal life can deliver our souls from the power of death. But this way of God’s salvation has been so long rejected, that few in our present age know what His Spirit is, where they may become acquainted with it, or how they may walk in it. (Original title: The grounds of a holy life; or, The way by which many who had been heathens, came to be renowned Christians; and such as are now sinners, may come to be numbered with saints, with little or no outward preaching: to which is added, Paul’s speech to Titus, called the first bishop of Crete: and also, A true touchstone, or trial of Christianity.)
