(4.54) | Cap | Since the days of the early church, Christians have wrestled with the relationship between law and gospel. If, as the apostle Paul says, salvation is by grace and the law cannot save, what relevance does the law have for Christians today? By revisiting the Marrow Controversy--a famous but largely forgotten eighteenth-century debate related to the proper relationship between God's grace and our works--Sinclair B. Ferguson sheds light on this central issue and why it still matters today. In doing so, he explains how our understanding of the relationship between law and gospel determines our approach to evangelism, our pursuit of sanctification, and even our understanding of God himself. Ferguson shows us that the antidote to the poison of legalism on the one hand and antinomianism on the other is one and the same: the life-giving gospel of Jesus Christ, in whom we are simultaneously justified by faith, freed for good works, and assured of salvation.… (més) |

Informació del coneixement compartit en anglès. Modifica-la per localitzar-la a la teva llengua. [Foreword] The volume in your hands is not just a helpful historical reflection; it is also a tract for the times. [Introduction] The Whole Christ: Legalism, Antinomianism, and Gospel Assurance--Why the Marrow Controversy Still Matters sounds like a book title with a history. And so it is. The story begins some three hundred years ago in a small Scottish town, at a meeting attended by perhaps a few dozen men. [Conclusion] These "Variations on Some Themes from the Marrow Controversy" have now reached a conclusion, ending not with a climatic crescendo but with the calmer notes of a deep and well-grounded assurance. | |

It is the reverse: confidence in our Father, trust in Christ as our Savior, and joy in the Spirit as the Spirit of sonship, seal of grace, and earnest of our inheritance as sons and daughters of God. When these are the hallmarks of our lives, then the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ has come home to us in full measure.
And that, surely, is one of the greatest needs of our times. (Clica-hi per mostrar-ho. Compte: pot anticipar-te quin és el desenllaç de l'obra.)[Conclusion] For that to be true--whatever our gifts and calling--we who serve Christ and his people must first "see him more clearly, love him more dearly, and follow him more nearly." If we do--no matter what our gifts are, or where our ministry may be--then the "tincture" of which Thomas Boston spoke will be seen again.
The prayer that this may be true again lies behind the writing of The Whole Christ. (Clica-hi per mostrar-ho. Compte: pot anticipar-te quin és el desenllaç de l'obra.) | |
