Christian live is primarily motivated by our love for Christ. Without manifesting love to Christ, we are as entirely lacking spiritual life as a dead body lacks life when its soul departs for the other world. Therefore, professing a belief without loving Christ is dead religion, and thus a professed believer who has no love to Christ is a dead man, dead in transgression and sin. Without a biblical love to Christ, we may pretend to be Christians, but we would lack entirely the true nature of a Christian. In treating the true love of Christians towards Christ, this book is like any other. Puritan devotion, intertwined with clear doctrine and sharp biblical precision in statements, permeates this book on every page of it. You will be unable to put it down, and your life and devotion to Christ will be changed forever. This book was originally published in 1812 under the title "The True Christian's Love for the Unseen Christ." The current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: Thomas Vincent (1634 - 1678) was an English Puritan minister and author.
