2023 Doctrine & Practice
  • #43 Part 24 We are Lazy and Need Admonitory and Didactic Training in Godliness.
    Consequently, in order that we may then give a definite form and good directions from God’s Word as to how and in what manner one may and should train oneself in godliness, the treatise of these five books now springs forth. Prior liber erit νουθετητικός, continens pietatis ὀρμητήρια . Prior demonstrabit τὸ ὅτι καὶ τὸ διότι, quod & quare pietatis sit studendum (Vol. I will show the why and the wherefore one must pursue godliness); posteriores exponent τὸ πῶς qua ratione pietatis exercitationi incumbendum (the rest of the volumes will explain the whole reason why the exercise of godliness is incumbent upon us). Both are required for the true practice of godliness. For on account of the corruption of our nature, we are altogether reluctant and lazy regarding godliness; and our hearts flatter themselves with the belief that they are capable of evoking the highest motives which would awaken and encourage us to godliness, as well. Since we especially also, through this very same corruption of our nature, have our spiritual understanding blindly deluded in such way that we do not know how and in what manner we are to serve God, and are unable to train ourselves in godliness, from the Word of God one has to simultaneously defend against the corruption, and search for counsel and help for this sickness of the soul. We want to initiate a beginning concerning the reasons why we should be motivated to godliness. Thus, we thereafter will be all the more willing and eager to be motivated towards godliness if we consider how and in what manner we should and can train ourselves in godliness. GOD wants to grant us His Spirit’s grace and power for the sake of Christ, so that it may redound to His glory and for the furtherance of the salvation of many. Amen. (Schola Pietatus-Volume 1 by Johann Gerhard, Repristination Press, p. 28-29)
