The Great Commission. Miscellaneous Writings of C. H. Mackintosh, vol. IV

In this thought‑provoking essay the author invites listeners to join a careful study of the biblical portrait of genuine conversion as presented in the first chapter of First Thessalonians. With clear, earnest language he argues that true Christianity cannot be inherited, taught, or achieved through ritual alone, but must be a divine work upon the soul. The opening pages set the stage for a compelling discussion of why conversion is essential for every person, regardless of background or creed.

Against a backdrop of modern distractions—business, entertainment, ambition—the writer stresses that these fleeting concerns pale in comparison to the eternal question of the soul’s state. He confronts the inevitability of death, urging listeners to consider what awaits beyond the grave if one remains unconverted. The essay promises a rigorous yet accessible examination of Scripture’s answer to this ultimate dilemma.
