What must I do to be saved? This cry has risen from countless souls burdened under the weight of sin, trembling at God’s holiness, and longing for peace with Him. In The Humbled Sinner Resolved, Puritan pastor Obadiah Sedgwick offers one of the clearest and most compassionate answers to that question ever penned. Drawing from Scripture with theological depth and pastoral tenderness, Sedgwick speaks to the brokenhearted sinner who knows his guilt but fears that Christ will not receive him.

Sedgwick shows that true humility is not a barrier to salvation but the very soil in which saving faith grows. He urges sinners not to look inward for worthiness, nor outward to works or feelings, but upward to the sufficiency of Christ. Faith, he writes, is the soul casting itself upon the risen Redeemer, trusting Him alone for pardon, righteousness, and eternal life — even when all sense, reason, and feeling argue otherwise.

Filled with gospel comfort, biblical clarity, and rich encouragement, this work is a balm for any who despair of their sin but long to know if there is mercy for them. Sedgwick answers plainly: yes — for “the greatest sinner never miscarried by coming to Christ.”
