God's Plan with Men

The author begins by inviting skeptics to a reasoned examination and then lays out a systematic evangelical presentation of sin, divine justice, and redemption. He argues for the justice of varying punishments and rewards, explains Jesus' role as sin-bearer reconciling God’s justice and love, and describes the believer's new relation, motives, and ongoing sanctification. Chapters treat believers' sins, forgiveness, and corrective chastisement; the meaning of repentance and faith and the phrases believe on/believe in; the present possession of eternal life; and the gradual development of Christian character. Practical guidance for conversion and further study materials conclude the work.
