The Path to Holiness by Jesse C. Jones

I (Jesse C. Jones) chose the above title to reflect my understanding of what the Bible tells us about God’s plan and purpose in sending His only Son to earth in the form of a man. We know that Jesus came to restore God’s chosen ones to favor through spiritual regeneration. The path He chose is marked with milestones described herein. This book was originally published in paperback but is now no longer readily available in print. It is available here online with a different cover than the version in print. You may read it online or download it in pdf format below.

A Study on the Gospel of John by Jesse C Jones

John wrote this Gospel while he was bishop of the church at Ephesus, during the period between 80 - 90 AD, and prior to the writing of 1, 2, and 3 John, and the Book of Revelation. This Gospel is often referred to as the “spiritual Gospel,” since it focuses on the spiritual aspect of Jesus’ ministry, emphasizing His divinity. Thus, he introduces Jesus as the Word, who was with God from the beginning, and is God. You can see more of Jesse C Jones work here: http://jessecjones.wordpress.com

A Study on the Epistle to the Colossians by Jesse C Jones

The design of this letter was to correct false teachings, and to point out to this church the supreme headship of Christ, who is above all principalities and powers. This is one of the four “Prison Epistles,” the other three being Ephesians, Philippians, and Philemon (62-63 AD). Topics include faith, putting on the mind of Christ, the old man, and intercession.

A Study on the Epistle to the Galatians by Jesse C Jones

Paul opens his epistle by identifying himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for the sins of all mankind and was raised from the dead by God the Father to deliver them from this present evil age. Paul and the brethren with him ask for His grace and peace to be on the churches of Galatia. Topics include circumcision, works of the flesh, fruits of the Spirit, and bearing one another's burdens.

A Study on the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians by Jesse C Jones 

This letter was not long in following the first, probably not more than a month or two. It would seem that a forged letter had come to this church purporting to have come from the apostle, which proclaimed that the day of the Lord was at hand. The second epistle was written to give the church more specific instructions on this point, to set their minds at rest and give them an understanding of this matter.

A Study on the First Epistle to Timothy by Jesse C Jones

Paul called Timothy his “true son in the faith.” He took Timothy as one of his companions on the third missionary journey and the most affectionate relations between them were sustained to the end of the apostle’s life. His last epistle was to this disciple. Timothy was stationed at Ephesus where heretical teachers carried on their destructive work. In this epistle the apostle gives this young pastor just the instruction needed to meet the needs of the situation in Ephesus. He does not discuss doctrines, but gives direction for the training and governing of the church.

A Study on the Epistle to the Philippians by Jesse C Jones

This is one of the four “Prison Epistles,” the other three are Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon. It was in Philippi that the gospel was first preached in Europe in response to a vision Paul had from a man of Macedonia who implored, ”Come over to Macedonia and help us” (Acts 16:9). Interpreting this plea as a summons from God, Paul and his party sailed for Neapolis, the port of Philippi. Philippi, the chief city in that part of Macedonia, was a Roman colony at that time (Acts 16:12). It had no synagogue so on the sabbath Paul and his party went out of the city to a riverside where there was a place of prayer. Through the kindness of Lydia, a devout convert of Paul, they were cared for. Chapters include: Thankfulness and Prayer, Be Like Christ, Paul Gives Up Everything for Christ, and Closing Exhortations.

A Study on the First Epistle to the Thessalonians by Jesse C Jones

While Paul proceeded to Corinth, he sent Timothy to ascertain the condition in this new church. Timothy joined Paul in Corinth and reported the steadfastness of the faith of these believers, but that they were disturbed, and were laboring under mistaken ideas relative to the Second Coming of Christ. They were under the impression that this great event was soon to occur and raised the question, what about those who had died having a part in His glorious coming and kingdom? To set their at minds at rest on this point Ploniaaul wrote this first letter. It was the first of thirteen epistles written in 52 or 53 AD, or about eighteen years after his conversion. It was written at Corinth where Paul spent eighteen months.
