Description
J. W. Byers, who was one of the leading figures in the sanctification and holiness movement, offers here profound spiritual guidance for Christians seeking sanctity.
Commencing his book with a definition of the term 'Sanctification', it is with great dedication that the author details the process of becoming sanctified, answering questions and clarifying much in every chapter. As Byers aptly notes early in the book, most mentions of sanctification are in the New Testament. As such, the focus of this book is mainly upon this part of the Bible, with a minority of quotes taken the Old Testament.
Each chapter begins with a series of Biblical quotations, each of which are placed in separate contexts with subtitles. After each set of quotes, Byers discusses various topics; for instance the importance of sanctity; and the concept that all humanity can aspire to gaining holiness by taking the example of Christ. Devotion, a life free of sin, and a model of faith mindful of the Lord are all examined as qualities needed for sanctification.
The idea of being sanctified thanks to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and of receiving sanctification as a gift from God, fascinated many Christians. A surge in interest occurred in the United States during the late 19th century, whereby preachers and evangelicals attempted to teach believers the way to sanctity. J. W. Byers was one such figure; over his lifespan, he oversaw the construction of several churches in California, published a magazine named "Tidings of Healing", and authored books such as this.
