The Complete Green Letters

by Miles J. Stanford

Book Overview

"Not I, but Christ." That brief phrase reflects our complete dependency on Jesus for everything that the Christian life is about, from right standing with God, to spiritual growth, to personal well being, to practical service. In four words, it captures the essence and sweep of The Complete Green Letters.

The language of The Complete Green Letters may have a classic flavor, but the remarkable insight and spiritual penetration are thoroughly...

Christianity is Christ ....It is all about Him

"By Grace you have been saved through faith." (eph 2:8-9) I know i'm saved by grace but how am i to live the Christian life??? The bible says "as you received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk in Him."(col 2:6) How did you recieve Him? "Did you recieve the Spirit by the works of the law of by the hearing of faith? are you so foolish having begun in the Spirit are you now being made perfect by the flesh." (galatians 3:2-4) "the letter kills but the Spirit gives life" (2 corithians 3:6)Jesus said "i am the Life" (John 14:10) Only Christ can live the Christian life - the Christian life isn't an imitation but a participation in the life of another. "I am the Vine you are the branches." (John 15) The whole Christian life in Christ is "by grace through faith." This is a wonderful book - he points to Christ and His completed work on the cross, "our old man was crucified with Him." That is a historic fact. We die to sin not by our experiences but by the believing of the fact of what He has done. Now day by day we get to walk less and less according to the flesh and more and more according to the Spirit - by faith believing on His work of the crucified and risen Jesus. It is by knowing our POSITION (standing) in Christ and what He has done that we are able to grow in our CONDITION (walk, fellowship and growth) in Him day by day. The basis of the Christ life is faith .....faith in God's fact - that is in the God who cannot lie! I recommend this book so highly. "but we with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are beng transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."(2 cor 3:18)

THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ON SPIRITUAL GROWTH!

I HAVE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF CHRISTIAN BOOKS, AND THIS BOOK IS THE BEST EVER WRITTEN ON SPIRITUAL GROWTH. THE HOLY SPIRIT REALLY MINISTERED TO ME THROUGH THIS BOOK. MOST OF THESE TRUTHS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN BY THE MODERN CHURCH. EVERY CHRISTIAN ESPECIALLY PASTORS SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. I WILL BE BUYING COPIES OF THE COMPLETE GREEN LETTERS FOR ALL OF MY FRIENDS!

Truly Exceptional!

Miles Stanford brings out the mandatory basis for true Spiritual growth with the "not I, but Christ" in absolute clarity! Other than the KJV, this book has changed my walk in Him. Positional Truth teaching on the practical level!

The most helpful book I have ever read on spiritual growth

The Complete Green Letters is the most helpful book on spiritual growth that I have read and I have been reading these kinds of books for 31 years. The truths have been largely forgetten by other writers today and Mr. Standford brings them back for all Christians to live and enjoy. This book can set the believer free from the power of sin over life. Thank you Mr. Stanford! I invite everyone to enjoy and learn to rest in the Lord Jesus Christ for life. Warning! This book will invade your life with the life of Christ Himself. Read and enjoy Him!!

This book has changed my life forever!!!

Miles Stanford explains HOW to walk in the Spirit and be delivered from sin. It's CHRIST IN ME and mentally accepting that self/sin was crucified with Christ. No longer I who live, but Christ living in me!!! Nowhere in all my church going have these scriptures been taught like he teaches them. My life will never be the same. Sin no longer has a hold on me. For me to live is Christ! Birth truths vs. Growth truths are all here. Deliverance from the penalty of sin AND the power of sin!!!
