Book Description
First published in 1700, The Christian¿s Reasonable Service (De Redelijke Godsdienst) ran through twenty Dutch editions in the eighteenth century alone! The title is derived from Romans 12:1, ¿I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.¿ It expresses what God requires from man, and particularly from the Christian, that he serve Him in Spirit and in truth¿intelligently, rationally, and in harmony with and response to God¿s revelation of Himself, His Word. With a decidedly Puritan flavor and representing Reformed experiential religion at its best, Wilhelmus à Brakel systematically moves through the major doctrines of the Bible in hopes of seeing the minds of God¿s people renewed for the purpose of promoting godliness. Throughout his work, but particularly in the practical application of each doctrine, à Brakel strives unceasingly to exalt the name of Jesus as the name that the Father has given above every other name¿there being no other name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. THE CHRISTIAN OFFERING. "I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."--Komans xii. 1. We have seen, in the second chapter of Leviticus which we have read, the prescribed offerings that were to follow the propitiatory sacrifices. We have seen that these, in some degree, represented and set forth the spiritual and eucharistic sacrifices that all believers are to make. We have in this verse, in the prescriptions of the apostle, a definition and description of those sacrifices, as first and chiefest, the living man, surrendered to God that made and redeemed him, a living sacrifice, rational, intelligent, and spiritual; and this proclaimed to be now, in opposition to the offerings once given, an acceptable service to God. Tou will notice, first of all, that the apostle does not enjoin this by the force of apostolical authority. He might have said, " I command you to do so;" he might have said, " Present your bodies;" but he does not do so. Every sacrifice, as we shall see by-and-by, must be voluntary. He therefore beseeches not commands, --"I beseech you by the mercies of God." He speaks as a father to his children, as a friend to his friends, as a teacher to his pupils; ever feeling, what we need also to feel, that never is authority Bo impressive as when clothed in love; and never does a command so deeply strike the heart as when it comes from a heart that truly loves. He beseeches them, not by the authority of Christ, though he might have done so; but "by the mercies of God." He takes his stand, not on Sinai, but on Calvary; he makes the fulcrum of his appeal not legal, but evangelical ground. He who thinks...
