    About this ebook

    Separation from the world is not only a biblical concept, but also a vital issue for today. As in Ryle's day, "There is a widely-spread desire to make things pleasant in religion—to saw off the corners and edges of the cross, and to avoid, as far as possible, self-denial." Ryle reminds us of the danger of friendship with the world. He shows what true separation is not, and then what it does consist of. Finally, we learn that the secret of real victory over the world is the Christian's heart renewed by the Holy Spirit, manifest in a living faith and bold confession of Christ.

      The River Of Life

      I love standing on a bridge, staring into the fast-moving waters of a river, on their way to the sea from their source in distant hills. The length of a river is like the span of a human life. Some lives are long, but others, sadly, can be much short

      The World - John C. Ryle

      Contents

      Introduction

      1. The world is a source of great danger to the soul.

      2. What does not constitute separation from the world

      3. What true separation from the world really is

      4. The secrets of real victory over the world

      5. Conclusion

      The World

      Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.—2 Corinthians 6:17

      Introduction

      The text which heads this page touches a subject of vast importance in religion. That subject is the great duty of separation from the world. This is the point which Saint Paul had in view when he wrote to the Corinthians: Come out…be…separate.

      The subject is one which demands the best attention of all who profess and call themselves Christians. In every age of the church, separation from the world has always been one of the grand evidences of a work of grace in the heart. He who has been really born of the Spirit and made a new creature in Christ Jesus has always endeavored to come out from the world, and live a separate life. They who have only had the name of Christian, without the reality, have always refused to come out and be separate from the world.

      The subject perhaps was never more important than it is at the present day. There is a widely-spread desire to make things pleasant in religion—to saw off the corners and edges of the cross, and to avoid, as far as possible, self-denial. On every side we hear professing Christians declaring loudly that we must not be narrow and exclusive, and that there is no harm in many things which the holiest saints of old thought bad for their souls. That we may

      go anywhere,

      and do anything,

      and spend our time in anything,

      and read anything,

      and keep any company,

      and plunge into anything—

      and all the while may be very good Christians—this, this is the maxim of thousands. In a day like this, I think it good to raise a warning voice, and invite attention to the teaching of God’s Word. It is written in that Word, Come out…and be…separate.

      There are four points which I shall try to show my readers, in examining this mighty subject.

      1. First, I shall try to show that the world is a source of great danger to the soul.

      2. Secondly, I shall try to show what is not meant by separation from the world.

      3. Thirdly, I shall try to show in what real separation from the world consists.

      4. Fourthly, I shall try to
