ABOUT THE COMPLETE GREEN LETTERS
There are a few books on a shelf that I keep near my desk, close at hand, and return too frequently. These are old friends that have nurtured me along the way, and continue to refresh and keep me centered in my Christian walk.

One book that is particularly valued and vital to spiritual growth is titled The Complete Green Letters by Miles Stanford. It is a compilation of five other stand-alone smaller books written by Miles Stanford, each found under five separate chapter headings. With permission I have commented here on the first two chapters, Part Two: Foundations for Spiritual Growth, and Part One: Principles of Spiritual Growth, in that order. I believe this is a better reading of the material, reviewing Part Two first, followed by Part One.

Note: Part One comments are not yet fully published here, as it is a work in progress. In the future, I may review and comment on the other three chapters.

The chapter heading titles found in The Complete Green Letters differ some from the original stand-alone versions, many of which are no longer in print. Part Two titled Foundations of Spiritual Growth was published as a stand-alone under the title of The Principle of Position. Part One titled Principles of Spiritual Growth was originally published as The Green Letters. Both are two works that excel in pointing us to our one immutable foundation, Christ.

All spiritual life and growth is based upon the principle of position. It can be summed up in one word: source. – MS

Thus, The Complete Green Letters point to Christ, the all sufficient one Who alone upholds and sustains all that is built upon Him. It is my humble opinion that Miles Stanford has performed an immense service in capturing and presenting the precious truths of our Union with Christ in such a way to make clear its vast and practical implications of what it means to be “in Christ.”

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death (Rom. 1:1-2)
