Among Evangelicals, Nazarenes represent a distinct minority who believe it is possible to live a life without sinning every day in thought, word, and deed. We join the majority of Christians who, with two thousand years of experience, know it is possible to live a holy life. These include Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, and other holiness groups.How did we come to be an Evangelical minority while still representing the dominant position within the Christian faith concerning holiness? Obviously, it is a matter of our history. We were formed from remnants of the Three Great Awakenings. These revivals Christianized the American continent giving rise to the Methodist Church, the Evangelical movement, Pentecostalism, and the Church of the Nazarene. The Nazarene terminology for two works of grace comes directly from these revivals and was debated throughout the nineteenth century by Methodists and Calvinists.The cardinal doctrine of the Church of the Nazarene is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. His resurrection is experienced through two works of grace. The two works of grace are Christian Conversion and Holy Purpose. An explanation of two works of grace is told here.This book represents excerpts from the complete history of two works of grace as told in Christian Conversion and Holy Purpose.
