It's Not Too Good To Be True; But It Surely Is Too Good To Be Missed |
|
This particular tract focuses upon the issue of resistance to the fact that God truly does justify a person in response to faith alone. All too often this is the point at which a person opposes the gospel. The natural tendency of the flesh, along with the numerous perversions of the gospel that exist, team up in a person’s mind to make him balk at the idea that faith, and faith alone, in Christ as one’s all-sufficient Savior is all that God requires for justification in His sight. The thinking is that that’s just too good to be true, and therefore it simply can’t be true. God must require more than that. This tract deals with 2 of the most common reasons why a person thinks that justification by faith alone is ‘too good to be true’; 1.) his failure to truly understand and appreciate that the Lord Jesus Christ ‘did it all’ when He functioned as our substitute-Redeemer; and 2.) his failure to also understand and appreciate that God’s Perfect Justice can only accept a non-meritorious response for justification in His sight, and that non-meritorious response can only be faith. Upon dealing with these two issues, this tract concludes with an appeal for the reader to realize that justification by grace through faith alone is not ‘too good to be true’ after all. Instead it is the only way anyone can ever be justified unto eternal life. There is no other way. It then beseeches the reader to acknowledge this truth and to have faith alone in Christ alone. |
