Do all you can to buy this book! I’ll be posting more on this over the next few weeks.
“Terror accomplishes no real obedience
Suspense brings forth no fruit unto holiness.
No gloomy uncertainty as to God’s favour
can subdue one lust,
or correct our crookedness of will.
But the free pardon of the cross uproots sin,
and withers all its branches.
Only the certainty of love,
forgiving love,
can do this.”
- Horatius Bonar, quoted by Milton Vincent in A Gospel Primer for Christians (2008), 89.
