The Godly Man’s Picture

Here in this book, you have a godly person's portrait, and you see him portrayed in his full qualities and features. What a rare thing godliness is! Godliness is a ray and beam that shines from God. If God is true, then godliness is true. Genuine godliness is not light and fluffy, but it is solid and will engage the heart and spirit. Christian, aspire after piety; it is a lawful ambition. Look at the saints' characteristics here, and never stop until you have got those same characteristics stamped upon your own soul.

Thomas Watson (Author), Reed Smith (Narrator)

The Doctrine of Repentance

Repentance is not optional. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an unrepenting person, God would not grant it. The Lord God, compassionate and merciful, . . . who keeps faithfulness for thousands, . . . will by no means leave the guilty unpunished (Exodus 34:6-7). Though God is more full of mercy than the sun is of light, still He will not forgive a sinner who willfully continues to sin. Dying to sin is the life of repentance. The very day a Christian turns from sin, he must require of himself a perpetual fast. The eye must fast from impure glances. The ear must fast from listening to slander. The tongue must fast from cursing. The hands must fast from bribes. The feet must fast from unclean paths. And the soul must fast from the love of wickedness. This turning away from sin implies a noticeable change in the lives of those who truly follow Christ. Therefore let us, while we are on this side of the grave, make our peace with God! About the Author Thomas Watson, a 17th-century English Puritan pastor, served at St. Stephen Walbrook Church in London for 16 years. He married Abigail Beadle and had seven children, four of whom died young. Imprisoned briefly in 1651 for plotting to restore Charles II, he returned to his pastoral duties until 1662 when laws against Nonconformists forced him to preach privately. In 1672, he obtained a license to preach at Crosby Hall, London, where he continued until his health declined. He died in 1686 in Barnston, Essex. Known for works like The Godly Man’s Picture and The Ten Commandments, Watson was a devout Christian who faced hardships with unwavering faith.

The Art of Divine Contentment

The contented heart is never out of heart. Contentment is a golden shield that beats back discouragement. True contentment will trust God even when it cannot see Him. Why are you discontented? Is it because you are temporarily dispossessed of comforts? You who are discontented because you do not have all you would like to have, let me tell you, either your faith is a nonentity, or, at best, it is just an embryo. It is a weak faith that must have stilts and crutches to support it. Discontent is not only below faith, but it is also below reason. Discontent is unworthy of the relationship we have with God. Christians are invested with the title and privilege of sonship; we are heirs of the promise. God will be sure to reward the contented Christian.

[Spanish] - La Obra de Cristo

La inspirada Epístola a los Hebreos dice: “Pero Cristo, habiendo ofrecido una vez para siempre un solo sacrificio por los pecados, se ha sentado a la diestra de Dios” (Heb. 10:12). ¡Esta es una declaración sensacional! No podemos leer estas veintidós palabras bajo la iluminación del Espíritu Santo, el estudio diligente y la meditación sin que nuestro corazón se conmueva ni nuestra alma ansíe adorar al Señor. ¡Señor, perdona nuestra falta de entusiasmo! Aquí, en veintidós palabras tenemos el resumen de la obra de Jesucristo, el propósito eterno de Dios manifestado en el Hijo eterno de Dios. Aquí frente a nosotros están las glorias de este hombre Cristo: Cristo el Hijo, Cristo el Mediador, Cristo el Profeta, Cristo el Sacerdote, Cristo el Rey. Aquí está el perdón de los pecados logrado para siempre con “un solo sacrificio”. ¡Aquí está todo lo infinitamente necesario para salvar y preservar al pueblo de Dios por toda la eternidad! ¡Todo! Designado en la eternidad antes de la Creación, enviado al mundo, encarnado por la concepción milagrosa en el vientre de la Virgen, obediente a la Ley, crucificado, resucitado, ascendido al cielo y sentado en glorioso esplendor. Cristo cumplió con su muerte la obra que su Padre decretó antes de la fundación del mundo. Aquí está el Garante, aquí está el Sustituto que vino a morir en una agonía horrorosa en la cruenta cruz del Calvario. Aquí está el que resucitó el tercer día con gran poder y gloria, venciendo a la muerte, al infierno, al mundo y a Satanás. Cada aspecto y cada detalle de todo lo que su Santo Padre le dio para hacer a fin de salvar a su pueblo de la pena, el poder, el placer y la presencia del pecado —todo— Jesús lo logró todo.

The Ten Commandments: Life Application of the Ten Commandments

Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven – Matthew 5:19 Every one of the Ten Commandments is relevant today. Some think of these commandments as the Law of Moses, now replaced by God's grace and mercy, but a closer look reveals that we can't willfully break a single one of the commandments and live. Every one of the commandments wholeheartedly obeyed will produce fruit of righteousness, peace, and spiritual prosperity. Society says 'do whatever you want' but a careful study and application of this set of 'life principles' will provide boundless fruit for the righteous. Originally written in the 1600's, Thomas Watson's commentary on the Ten Commandments is as relevant today as it was then, if not more so. The text was carefully updated for modern readers, with much care taken to convey the truth in Watson's writings in such a way that readers today can more easily understand his writing, and as such, more easily apply the truth to their own lives. May the LORD God of heaven and earth bless you richly as you read and obey!

The Christian Soldier:

When Thomas Watson tells Christians to enact "holy violence," he's not talking about physical warfare. He's urging Christians to take up spiritual arms in their pursuit of righteousness. Watson, a Puritan preacher and writer, uses passionate language to capture the fervor with which Christians should perform their duties of prayer, Bible-reading, meditation, and more. This fiery text is perfect for anyone looking to reignite their spiritual life so they can, as Watson puts it, "take Heaven by storm" and fight against evil.

Watson details several of the questions and answers from the Catechism: What is the chief end of man? Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgression? How does Christ execute the office of a priest? In covering these topics, Watson touches on a large portion of the basics of orthodox Christian theology.
