A.W.Pink gives an historical observation that highlights the importance of this Biblical doctrine:p.10 "under God,the preaching of this grand truth brought about the greatest revival which the cause of Christ has enjoyed since the days of the apostles".In chapter seven the author refutes an error that has been taught by some:that being that the elect have been eternally justified by God.In the mind of God this is true-for once God has purposed to do something,it is certain that it will come to pass(for none can stay His hand).However until someone actually believes,what state are they in? According to John3:18 'He that believeth not is condemned';while any are in a state of unbelief they are under condemnation.In addition to that we all enter this world in the same condition(as fallen sons of Adam)and are 'by nature children of wrath' Ephesians 2:3b.In the chapter 'Its Evidence' Pink distinguishes between what the Apostle Paul was treating concerning the doctrine of justification(that no sinner can be reconciled to God,have their sins forgiven,have a righteousness credited to them which God will accept and be restored to fellowship with Almighty God except through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ),Whereas the Apostle James is looking at the evidence in the life of one who says that they are trusting in the Lord Jesus.James is seeking to expose a false or empty profession of faith.Mr.Pink goes on to point out,later in this chapter,that all empty professors of faith are not aware of their hypocrisy(they may be self deceived).Though there are many who are content with an intellectual assent to the truth of the Gospel but their hearts are not wholly submitted to the God of the Word: p.67" there is no real subjection to God,no holiness of walk,no fruit to Christ's glory.
