The Great Gain of GodlinessAuthor: Thomas Watson
<
>
As Paul wrote to his young disciple and co-laborer Timothy, godliness is a great gain. But in what respect is godliness a great gain? And how can a Christian attain the biblical godliness that is gainful? Watson starts with the most unexpected ingredient by any modern Christian - the fear of God - and explains why and how the fear of God obtains for the true believer that godliness that is a great gain. Then he continues to sketch the portrait of the true godliness by talking about how that believer things, talks, and acts in the light of that Gospel fear. But Watson does not stop here. He discusses then what is "the great gain" about the true, biblical godliness, and he does this in a marvelous way, atypical Puritan approach. You cannot put this book down once you start reading it.
