sanctification, we find vast territory in the realm of mentality stretching out
before us, yet unexplored.”
Christian Perfection and Deeper Things is a
compilation of two separate (but related) books by the much-loved W.B.
Godbey (Godbey on Christian Experience; Salvation and Glory; Victory).
In his hallmark high-energy style, he lays out the specifics
of sanctification in Christian Perfection— what it will do, and
what it won’t. He continuously drives home the simplicity of obtaining the
blessing: consecrate everything, believe the altar sanctifies the gift, then
trust Jesus to do it and every moment to keep you pure. He illuminates the
difficult passages of Romans 6 and 7, and goes on to establish the blessing in
the epistles of each apostle.
In the extremely rare Deeper Things he moves
on beyond the actual occurrence of sanctification to urge a victorious
moment-by-moment cleansing for the rest of life. Holding to the Wesleyan doctrine of progress
up to the moment of sanctification, then continued progress thereafter, he
observes that failure initiates in thoughts of the heart, though such thoughts
are not even acted upon: “If we do not conquer these surviving Canaanites, they
will be very likely to lasso us and again bring us into bondage.” He positively
asserts that bringing into captivity every thought is the way to preserve and
prosper spiritually; it wages an exterminating war and defeats the tempter’s
assaults before actual disobedience occurs. Rather than being the end, he
joyfully proclaims that sanctification is the beginning of real and true
progress throughout life and destined to “sweep on through all eternity.”
“Constant progress pursuant to the ‘deep things of God’ is the only guarantee against leakage, defection and fatal collapse.” Item #:6475; 174 pages.
