Thomas Boston (1676 – 1732) was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor and theologian who preached the free offer of the Gospel against the hyper-Calvinism of his day. In this short classic, he writes, Repentance is not the work of a day or a year, but the work of our whole lives. For so turning from sin is. Sin follows us, while we flee from it; often does it overtake us, and so we must renew our flight. The whole life of a Christian is a war; in that war are many battles, sometimes the Christian gains the day, and sometimes he loses. If he lose, be must renew the battle; if he win, he must pursue the victory, and lay his account with a new engagement. The great comfort is, that though he may lose a battle, yet he shall be victorious in the war: “The God of peace shall bruise Satan under his feet shortly,” Rom. xvi. 20. |
