(Second Work of Grace) 12. ABSOLUTE PROOF—2 CORINTHIANS 1:15
“And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that you might have a second benefit”—margin, “second grace.” Some may attempt to identify this second benefit with the return visit spoken of in the following verse. But we have no right to change its connection. Had the Apostle meant th... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 13. THE DIVINE IMAGE RESTORED
Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. Now, the Lord is that Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by ... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 14. JUSTIFICATION INDUCTS INTO A DUAL STATE
In Chapter Two we have shown that perfect salvation is taught in the Bible and what it is. In this chapter we shall show that it is the “second grace,” a religious experience subsequent to regeneration. Christ commanded His disciples saying, “Be ye perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is p... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 15. LOVE, AN OLD AND NEW COMMANDMENT
If, as we have proved, the Bible teaches a distinct blessing of purity after conversion, Then we should also expect to find a corresponding uplift in all the concomitant graces. The removal of all anger, malice, selfishness, pride and hatred from the heart naturally gives place for an increased meas... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 16. THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE THESSALONIANS
That the Thessalonians had been soundly converted to God before the Apostle addressed his first epistle to them cannot be doubted for he calls them “brethren beloved” and declares that they “knew their election of God.” “For,” says he, “our Gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power an...

(Second Work of Grace) 17. TWO MEASURES OF SALVATION IN CHRIST
Therefore, I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (2 Timothy 2:10) The “eternal glory” may possibly refer to the future glory of the saints. But it is much more consonant with parallel texts to apply it to the “Spirit... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 18. THE SCARLET THREAD IN THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS
The Epistle to the Hebrews is a masterpiece on the divine life. Holiness, like a scarlet vein, pervades if from beginning to end—uniting it into one harmonious whole. In the first and second chapters the Apostle argues the ability of “Him that sanctifieth” from His supreme divinity and sympathetic h... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 19. THE SCARLET THREAD OF HEBREWS CONTINUED
We have seen that the two-fold service of the tabernacle is declared to be a type of Christ’s salvation. Hence we give what may serve as an outline of the tabernacle, that you may see the divine way of salvation. You perceive that it presents the same two successive doors formed by the words of Paul...

(Second Work of Grace) 2. CHRISTIAN PERFECTION AND HOLINESS THE SAME
These terms, it is generally believed and taught, represent the same moral state. Let us endeavor to find their Scriptural meaning. Perfection is from “katartizo” and “teleios” in the Greek. The first of these terms is defined by our standard lexicons of the New Testament as follows: “To make perfec... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 20. SAINT JOHN’S TESTIMONY TO THE SECOND WORK
To properly appreciate and understand the word of life, it is important that we have before our minds the characters addressed, and the particular object of the Epistle under consideration. The Apostle John addresses his first Epistle to his “little children”—“Sons of God” (1 John 2:1; 3:2). He writ... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 21. ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION ALWAYS ADDRESSED TO BELIEVERS
If entire sanctification were simultaneous with pardon, it would be used interchangeably with it and regeneration. It would be enjoined upon sinners and connected with repentance like conversion. We never read of sinners commended to repent and be sanctified. This grace is always enjoined upon such ... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 22. PURIFICATION A DISTINCT, INSTANTANEOUS WORK OF GRACE
Most writers upon the subject of holiness have quoted largely from human authorities; these harmonious witnesses have doubtless contributed much to establish and advance this most important cause. But, in the preparation of this work I have felt specially called to present to the reader a book of Bi... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 23. SOME OF THE PARABLES
By saying that some of them teach it, does not imply that others teach the opposite. Some Scriptures teach salvation as a whole, others in detail, describing the successive degrees of it attainment, but this implies no discord in their testimony. And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parab... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 24. THE SECOND SHAKING
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but ...

D.S. Warner
(Second Work of Grace) 25. THE ONCE MORE SHAKING AND PURIFICATION OF THE CHURCH
Please read over again Hebrews 12:25-29. “This word, yet once more signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken.” We have not yet presented a tithe of the Scriptures that treat on the above subject, and show its relation to the purification of the church. Let us now begin with 1 Peter 4:1... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 26. SEPARATION OF THE WHEAT AND CHAFF
The great war for the extermination of sin out of the heart, or sinners out of the church, is destined to sweep over all the nations of the earth. The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. (Isaiah 41:5) But thou, Israel , art my servant, Jacob whom I have ... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 27. TWO DEGREES OF DIVINE LIGHT IN THE SOUL
Perhaps no figure is more frequently used in the Bible to represent pure divine religion than that of light. To the heart that is filled with the heavenly illumination, this idea is very precious. Glory to God for light—pure spiritual light in the soul. Such is the religion of the Bible; it is oppos... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 28. TWO DEGREES OF CHRISTIAN FAITH
Faith is the most important means of union with the Divine Being. And as our oneness with God is in proportion to our conformity to His nature, our faith will, in general, correspond with the degree of holiness we possess; and as holiness exists before it is made perfect, faith naturally appears in ...

(Second Work of Grace) 29. TWO IMPARTATIONS OF LIFE IN THE GOSPEL
Sin has involved the race of mankind in spiritual death. We are plainly told that “by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; so death passed upon all men” (Romans 5:12). “To be carnally minded is death.” “With God is the fountain of life,” but, saith the Lord, “Your iniquities have se...

(Second Work of Grace) 3. ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION, IN THE ECONOMY OF GRACE
Before we proceed to the Scripture proofs of the above proposition, it is necessary to state just what we include in Regeneration. We often hear it said that God does not do His work imperfectly. This is all true. Regeneration is a complete work by itself; so also is entire sanctification. It is dis... Read More

D.S. Warner (1842 - 1895)
Daniel Sydney Warner is known primarily as a church reformer and one of the founders [1] of the Church of God (Anderson) and other similar church groups. He is also known for some of his songs which other church groups have incorporated into their hymnody. He is mostly known by only the initials of his given and middle name, D. S. Warner, which was typical for his time period.On April 22, 1881, Warner "came out" of all holiness associations, saying, "We were positively denied membership [in any holiness association] on the ground of not adhering to any sect. And now we wish to announce to all that we wish to cooperate with all Christians, as such, in saving souls—but forever withdraw from all organisms that uphold and endorse sects and denominations in the body of Christ." "Anti-sectarianism" would become a watchword for his followers for many years afterward. His detractors would call his movement, the "come-outers".
