{"title":"RICHARD SIBBES","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in England in 1577, Richard Sibbes was expected to become a wheelwright like his father, but his passion for learning caused him to attend St. John’s College. Converted to Christianity around the age of 25, he earned a B.D. and preached in Cambridge and London. After being granted a Doctorate in Divinity, he became known as the “heavenly Doctor Sibbes.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/collected-workssets\/the-works-of-richard-sibbes\/\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Works of Richard Sibbes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is available today in seven volumes, with Sibbes’ gift of illuminating Scripture’s meaning still evident today.

It is written by a loving and tender-hearted pastor whose main aim is to help believers enjoy the comfort that comes from knowing that Jesus’ God and Father is our God and Father too. ‘For from this, that God is our God, cometh all that we have that is good in nature and grace. Whatsoever is comfortable cometh from this spring, that God in Christ is our God, our reconciled God.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout such assurance, we simply cannot live Christian lives as God would have us. God would have us thankful, cheerful, rejoicing, and strong in faith: but we will be none of these things unless we are sure that God and Christ are ours for good.
