Description: First Published in 1874, The Everlasting Righteousness may be the best book on the doctrine of justification by faith alone ever written. Presented here in modern English and spelling, Bonars classic book is a clear and accurate explanation of the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since the 17^th century, the churches' adherence to the central doctrine of the Christian faith has been weakening; and in the 21^st century, it has all but disappeared. But to the people of God, justification by faith alone is the best news there ever could be: Christ died for all our sins, and we shall live forever because of his righteousness, not ours.

Contents:

Horatius Bonar is best remembered for his hymns, but he was also a leading author and his Everlasting Righteousness remains one of the finest and most uplifting treatments of truths which have changed nations and centuries. The awakened conscience of the sixteenth century betook itself to "the righteousness of God." There it found refuge, at once from condemnation and from impurity. Only by "righteousness" could it be pacified; and nothing less than that which is divine could meet the case. At the cross this "righteousness" was found; human, yet divine: provided for man, and presented to him by God, for relief of conscience and justification of life. On the one word tetelestai "It is finished," as on a heavenly resting-place, weary souls sat down and were refreshed. The voice from the tree did not summon them to do, but to be satisfied with what was done. Millions of bruised consciences there found healing and peace.
