Continuing in the string of excerpts from Samuel Bolton’s book, The True Bounds of Christian Freedom, I want include Bolton’s commentary on the “five-fold peace of a Christian man.” Bolton writes:
1. There is a peace which flows from the witness-bearing of our conscience to our integrity and exact walking.
2. There is a peace which flows from the soul’s communion and converse with God in duty.
3. There is a peace which comes to the believer from the exercise of the grace implanted in him.
4. There is a peace which flows from the sense and knowledge of God’s grace implanted in the soul.
5. There is a peace which flows from the assurance that God is at peace with the soul, a peace which flows from the sense of Divine favour.
- Samuel Bolton, The True Bounds of Christian Freedom, 156-57.
Bolton’s comments are right on target. thank you for sharing them.
