Description 

"Sanctification flows from justification as good works flow from God’s free grace. No one understood this better than Robert Purnell (1606–1666). In this excellent little book, A Serious Exhortation to Holiness, Purnell calls us to live holy lives not to merit salvation or to gain God’s favor, but to live out the grace of God that has been poured into our hearts in love. For every command, Purnell points us back to the gracious power within us by which the Spirit enables us to obey. Though this challenging book is convicting, it will not leave you in despair. It was written with a deep love for God and pastoral care for God’s people. It has enough zing to rattle the rust off, but enough comforting ointment to keep us encouraged along the way. This historical particular Baptist treasure remains as helpful today as it was when it was first published in 1663. No doubt this is a serious call to holiness, so read with great care and attentiveness."

—Jeffrey D. Johnson


Author Bio

Robert Purnell (1606–1666) was a 17th-century English Particular Baptist pastor and author, known for his warm-hearted devotion to Christ and his pastoral concern for the spiritual growth of believers. He ministered during a time of great theological and political upheaval, serving as a pastor and contributing to the early development of Reformed Baptist thought. His writings are marked by deep experiential piety, rich biblical insight, and a clear call to holiness and treasuring the gospel. Though less well-known than some of his Baptist contemporaries, Purnell’s works continue to edify readers hungry for Christ-centered, Scripture-saturated devotional theology. Some have referred to him as the Baptist "Thomas Watson" for his warm-hearted devotion and way with words.
