The Great Exchange: Justification by Faith Alone in the Light of Recent Thought

, 1996

Overview

While there is much by way of activity around the world in sharing the message of God’s love, at times there is a lack of clarity on exactly how it is that God saves and accepts sinners. Right at the heart of Gods redemptive love is the cross of Christ, and the work which Jesus did in purchasing our salvation. In this book, Dr. Eveson helpfully opens up the Bible’s teaching on justification, and then compares it with modern thinking, notably with Roman Catholicism and modern ecumenical projects, and with the views of Rev. Tom Wright. The book includes detailed general and Scripture index.

Top Highlights

“In brief, Paul defines justification as God’s declaration that sinners who believe in Christ are fully pardoned, acquitted of all guilt and are in a right legal standing before him, on the basis of what God has done in Jesus Christ.” (Page 13)

“It is the gospel, not righteousness, which is the power of God to salvation.^{7” (Page 16)}

“The rallying cry of the Protestant Reformation—‘justification by faith alone’—means nothing to the present generation.” (Page 9)

“Paul also considers the subject in his letter to the Galatians. With great passion he warns his converts of the danger of accepting another gospel, a gospel of justification that includes works as well as grace, which is not the gospel.” (Pages 13–14)

“We are dependent on God’s Word, the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, for all that we know, believe and preach concerning the gospel of God’s saving power in Jesus Christ.” (Page 12)
