  PREACH FORTH THE VIRTUES OF CHRIST
  by Thomas Brooks
========================================================================

Summary: As God's chosen people, we are called to demonstrate the

DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that Christians, as a chosen people and a holy
nation, are called to proclaim the virtues of Christ by living out His
goodness in their lives. He asserts that true transformation occurs when
God's divine light illuminates the soul, enabling believers to reflect
Christ's virtues authentically. Without this divine light, even the most
knowledgeable individual remains spiritually lost. The sermon encourages
believers to embrace their identity in Christ and to actively
demonstrate His goodness to the world.

"For you are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests,

God's holy nation, His very own possession. This is so you can

show others the goodness (or virtues) of God, for He called you

out of the darkness into His wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9

When God causes His divine light, His marvelous light, to shine

in upon the soul, then a Christian will preach forth the virtues of

Christ in an imitable practice; and until then a man, under all other

knowledge, will remain an incarnate devil.
