The Christian's Great Interest, which was written by Scottish minister William Guthrie in 1658, masterfully describes the characteristics of people who have a genuine interest in Christ. What is the evidence that a person knows Christ? Do you have doubts? What is the difference between true believers and pretenders? Guthrie answers these and many more questions. This is an essential book for all Christians: there is a reason it was highly recommended by John Owen. Though there are some Puritan-like warnings against hypocrisy and insincerity, Guthrie filled the book with plenty of gracious biblical exhortations, pressing unbelievers urgently to consider their case and to "close with Christ," as well as for believers to "give diligence to make our calling and election sure." He also gives extensive coverage on the evidence of saving faith, where the premise is that though faith alone justifies, justifying faith is never alone. Contrary to today's common popular mechanical sinner's prayer as some sort of magic words for a quick conversion, Guthrie brought up the interesting topic of express covenanting' whereby believers renew from time to time, their solemn viva voce' confession of faith and their earnest resolution to cleave to Christ until the end. His arguments to support such a practice are compelling, as he shows from Scripture what God requires of His followers--drawing examples from Thomas' confession of faith after seeing the resurrected Christ and David's death bed resolution in 2 Samuel. Guthrie even goes as far as to say not to practice express covenanting' could be dangerous, considering it is implicitly done regularly during the celebration of the Lord's Supper as well. This is a serious book on the most serious and the most important business in life, that is, to determine a saving interest in Christ--and how to attain it.
