This work explores the Christian concept of self-denial and emphasizes the necessity of bearing the cross as part of true discipleship. It reflects on the importance of inner transformation and spiritual obedience, contrasting genuine faith with the superficial Christianity prevalent in society. The opening of the discourse establishes the author’s deep concern for the spiritual condition of Christians who neglect the essential tenets of their faith. Penn calls upon his readers to introspectively examine their lives, discussing the consequences of living in sin and the indifference towards personal commitment to Christ. He emphasizes that embracing the cross—a symbol of suffering and self-denial—is the only path to achieving true salvation and the eternal crown promised by God. Highly reflective and earnest, the beginning of the treatise sets the stage for an exploration of the struggle between worldly desires and the spiritual journey towards righteousness.
