Treatise on Sanctification - James Fraser 1 Peter 2:11 11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul; Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. James Fraser was born in 1700. After studying philosophy and theology in Aberdeen he was licensed to preach in 1723 and was ordained and inducted as minister of Alness on 17 February 1726. He remained there until his death on 5 October 1769. A few facts may give us some idea of the historical location of his ministry. He belonged to the Church of Scotland which had been re-established on Presbyterian lines after the Covenanting times and the Glorious Revolution, a Church in which there were only too many ministers of a Moderate persuasion, who, whatever their theology, tended to preach morality rather than grace. For more than half his life, the Jacobite threat was a reality with which people had to live. "I find a law in my members, which hath in some degree taken possession of all my faculties, giving false light and prejudice to my mind and judgment ; a corrupt bias often to my will, putting my affections and passions in irregular and impetuous motion, and so warring against the law of my mind, that good principle and law, which God, according to the promise of the new covenant hath put in my mind, and written in my heart; so warring againt my soul (1 Pet. ii. 11) and labouring hard, and with too much success in some particular instances, to captivate me to the law of sin which is in my members." http://www.puritanaudiobooks.net/ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny SUPPORT MINISTRY: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=5022374 Link to my "Christian Devotional Readings" Facebook page: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCDB844A9113F938C
