Summary "Christian Devotedness" by Anthony Norris Groves is a theological work written during the early to mid-19th century. This book explores the principle of self-denial in the Christian life, emphasizing a radical commitment to Jesus' teachings, particularly the idea of not amassing earthly treasures. Groves' approach reflects the spirit of the time, which sought a return to the fervor and simplicity of early Christian practices. In "Christian Devotedness," Groves articulates the importance of fully surrendering one's possessions, time, and talents to Christ as an expression of love for God and others. He draws heavily on scriptural references, arguing that true adherence to Christ’s teachings requires Christians to lay aside earthly wealth in favor of spiritual accumulation and service to the Kingdom of God. Through various examples, including the sacrifice of the poor widow and the communal lifestyle of the early church, Groves argues that such a life leads to abundant spiritual fulfillment and aligns with the profound love that should characterize all believers. His reflections urge readers to see every aspect of life—including their material possessions—not as personal assets but as tools for glorifying God and serving others.
