The Dynamic of Redemption or The Blood of Christ by A Paget Wilkes and published by Classics Publications.
The author writes “I am aware that in the perusal of the following pages, some will feel that too much emphasis is laid on the operation of our own hearts in the exercise of faith ; and that our greater need is to look unto the Lord Jesus Himself, being rather concerned with Him, than with our faith or our appropriation of His grace. So is it with Christ. He is All in All; His salvation is perfect. But unless we believe and receive, appropriate and feed on Him by faith in our hearts, it profiteth us nothing. We require then, again and again, to emphasize this-the way and necessity of an appropriating Faith.
In urging distressed and convicted believers to seek and obtain from the Lord what is known to some as the “second blessing” or “a personal Pentecost,” I have heard the objection: “There is no such second experience to be had; the secret of the Christian life lies only in ‘Looking unto Jesus.’” To this latter statement we can but entirely agree, and yet hasten to inquire, do you find that you are able to do this very thing? Can you keep looking to Jesus? For this is Holiness. This is Sanctification-this blessed ABILITY to keep looking. This ABILITY is the hardest thing this side of Eternity. To learn how to obtain this ABILITY the following pages have been penned. May God use them to His glory! Amen.”
