Carl Olof Rosenius is a well-known name among Christians in Scandinavia. He was born on February 3, 1816 in the parish of Nysätra within the province of Västerbotten, Sweden. His father was a faithful clergyman. Carl Olof became one of the leaders of the great revival during the nineteenth century. Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stiftelsen was founded in 1856, which derived from him, its mission to publish and distribute Bibles and literature.
In spite of his brief life—only 52 years—he managed to accomplish much. Besides preaching and individual counsel, he was an author and an editor of the magazine: Pietisten (The Pietist), which began in 1842. The circulation rose to 10,000 in the 1850’s.
For several decades, Rosenius’ devotional, Day by Day with God, has been a comfort and encouragement to many heavenward travelers. Other writings include A Faithful Guide to Peace With God, The Believer Free from the Law, and The Forgiveness of Sins. Various works of Rosenius have been translated into more than thirty languages. The common theme in his writings is the two truths of Christianity: the sinfulness of man and the grace of God.
Rosenius also wrote several hymns, which are cherished to this day, such as, With God and His Mercy, and His Spirit and Word, Wheresoe’er I Roam, and How Sure is My Foundation.
On February 24, 1868, Rosenius’ earthly pilgrimage came to a close and he was united with the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
May every reader be edified by these precious gems that reveal the redemptive work of Christ on behalf of sinners.
