The Everlasting Righteousness
Doctrine – Theology by
Horatius Bonar
What do we need to do in order to be saved? Is it enough to have faith? Do we know the Gospel well enough to understand salvation? Or is there something we need to restore so that we would not miss the point?
Bonar explains that the center of Christ’s Gospel is Christ alone—faith in God, not faith in faith. A faith rested on the assurance that we are saved, not in doubt and fear that we are not.
In this book, the element of the Gospel is thoroughly examined in an intellectual manner but in terms that are simple enough to be understood by anyone. It may be repetitive at times, but it hammered something home. This is the kind of teaching we need to restore in this time where many children forsake the church. They need the Gospel to make sense to believe in, and Bonar does the job.
