Gospel Mystery of Sanctification, The

Publisher is Out of Stock

The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification presents the culmination of Puritan thought on living the Christian life. Combining doctrinal precision and pastoral sensitivity, Walter Marshall shows how sanctification is essential to spiritual life, dependent on spiritual union with Jesus Christ, and inseparable - though distinct - from justification. Marshall shows how holiness involves both the mind and the soul of the believer and that it is the aim of the Christian life.

It is no wonder that this book has been reprinted many times throughout the years and received such high praise from leading ministers of the gospel.

"[This is] the classic Puritan work on the relationship between justification and sanctification. This book has helped deliver scores of people throughout church history from the bondage of legalism and antinomianism and enabled them to embrace the precious doctrine of justification by gracious faith alone with liberty, without sacrificing the need for grateful fruits of personal holiness."

- Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan

“If you are Reformed and want to know how to preach a robust biblical doctrine of growth in grace in the Christian life that is gospel-shaped, Spirit-empowered, and Christ-centered and that does not denigrate the third use of the law, then Marshall is your man, and Gospel Mystery is your book.”
