An elegant and lively description of spirituall life and death

A searching exposition of John 5:25 delivered at Lincoln's Inn, exploring the profound contrast between spiritual death and spiritual life. Preston diagnoses the natural human condition as a state of death — marked by darkened understanding, insensibility to God, and bondage to sin — before unfolding the quickening power of Christ's voice that alone translates souls from death to life. With rigorous pastoral application, he exposes false professors, provides searching marks of true spiritual life, and equips readers with practical means for seeking and growing in grace.
