The Whitefield, George 1714-1770 creator text utu 2025 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 5 (of 6) : Containing…." by George Whitefield is a collection of sermons written in the late 18th century. The volume gathers evangelical expositions on Scripture that press themes of human sin, Christ’s redeeming work, conversion, holy living, and practical devotion. Expect vigorous, plainspoken appeals, doctrinal clarity about grace versus works, and pastoral guidance for daily piety. The opening of the volume presents transcriber’s notes, a title page outlining sermons, tracts, and letters, a detailed contents list, and then launches into the sermons. Sermon I expounds Genesis 3:15, retelling the Fall, exposing Satan’s subtlety, contrasting human fig‑leaf righteousness with God’s grace, identifying the “seed of the woman” as Christ, and arguing that salvation rests on the covenant of grace rather than human conditions; it urges believers to expect persecution yet promises Christ’s ultimate victory. Sermon II, on “Walking with God” (Genesis 5:24), defines such walking as reconciliation through Christ, habitual communion, and steady growth, and prescribes means—Scripture, secret prayer, meditation, reading providence, heeding the Spirit by the Word, ordinances, and fellowship—before motivating hearers by the honour, joy, and heavenly end of such a life, with pointed calls to sinners, saints, and ministers. Sermon III begins the testing of Abraham (Genesis 22), distinguishing God’s trials from temptations to evil and highlighting Abraham’s ready obedience, but the excerpt breaks off as that exposition gets underway.
