An Extract from Mr. Law’s TREATISE On CHRISTIAN PERFECTION.
This volume brings together a series of powerful sermons delivered by the 18th‑century Anglican preacher whose writings helped shape Methodism. Presented with careful transcription notes, the text preserves the original language, spelling quirks, and occasional typographic flourishes, offering listeners a vivid sense of the period’s religious discourse. The sound of the speaker’s cadence, combined with modern accessibility features, makes the historic material approachable for today’s ear.
In the opening sermon, titled “Self‑Denial,” the preacher unfolds a timeless call to take up one’s cross and live beyond fleeting comforts. He argues that self‑denial is not a peripheral habit but the very foundation of genuine discipleship, urging people of any rank or era to examine their daily choices. Listeners will hear a blend of biblical exegesis, personal conviction, and practical counsel that still resonates with anyone wrestling with purpose and sacrifice.
