Precious Bible Promises

Precious Bible Promises

Isaac Watts
0/5 ( ratings)
Samuel Clarke was the compiler of this eminent book of Precious Bible Promises . "Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great and Precious Promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature" . As an English academic, theologian, and preacher, Clarke would be found mastering Isaac Newton's new system of the Universal Laws of Motion and translating an invaluable textbook to introduce and promote Newton's position , defending the Christian religion in A Discourse concerning the Being and Attributes of God, the Obligations of Natural Religion, and the Truth and Certainly of the Christian Revelation , serving as a chaplain to Protestant Queen Anne of England , translating Isaac Newton's Optics , expounding upon the Tri-Unity of God in his celebrated treatise The Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity , refusing the secular post of Master of the Mint upon the death of Sir Isaac Newton , and accumulating ten volumes of his own sermons ; but, best remembered by many Christians is his compilation of Precious Bible Promises, which shows us that Dr. Samuel Clarke had not only a keen intellect, but a true understanding of the evangelical "faith which worketh by love" and its attendant Promises. "Let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the Earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD" .

The Bible is a book of such transcendent worth, and so happily suited to all the parts and purposes of the Christian life, that it can never be too much recommended to the world; every thing that allures the world to peruse it, is a blessing to mankind. And though it is hard for our narrow capacities to grasp and take in its several distinguishing excellences at one view, yet, if we take a separate survey of the doctrines and duties, the promises and threatenings, the prophecies and histories, which are contained therein, each of them will afford us an awful or a delightful prospect, with lessons for special improvement.
