 The Whole Counsel Letters that Continue to Speak X: Humility Over Blessings
Dr. John Snyder continues the Letters that Continue to Speak series with John Newton’s Letter 5.
In this pastoral letter, Newton teaches how God uses trials to cultivate humility, Christlikeness, and dependence on Him alone. He warns that comforts can quietly divide our hearts, but through trials, Christ—the perfect Teacher—draws us back to Himself.
Newton closes with four exhortations: gratitude for Christ as Teacher, attentiveness to daily lessons, obedience on the path of duty, and drawing strength from prayer and Scripture.
This episode is a reminder that God’s kindness is never absent, even in our hardest seasons.
