The True Gospel: Jonathan Edwards on Eternal Salvation
The church at the beginning of the 21st century is saturated with false doctrine. From the lack of preaching on sin, to the diminishing of the doctrine of hell, the omitting of the doctrine of repentance, the preaching of the “repeat the words of this prayer” salvation, the modern gospel is a perversion of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Commitment to Christ has been dumbed-down to mean nothing more than a one-time repetition of a prayer no matter how the person lives thereafter. Pride has saturated the ministry of many churches so that their primary purpose seems to be to glorify pastors, deacons, and worship leaders. Selfish Christianity, which is not Christianity at all, has become the norm.
What would Jonathan Edwards have thought of today’s gospel? The sermons in this book have been selected to represent as clearly as possible the gospel which Edwards preached. All but one have been taken from the original handwritten manuscripts of Jonathan Edwards and include commentary by William C. Nichols contrasting the gospel Edwards preached with the false gospel of today.
The sermons in the book are: That Wicked Men though for a While They may Seem to Forsake their Sins, Yet if their Natures are Not Changed They will be Very Liable to Return to Them Again; God Will Not be Slack in Punishing Wicked Men; God Is a Consuming Fire; Jesus Christ is both the Only Priest and Sacrifice by which Eternal Redemption is Obtained for Believers; That the Entrance into Eternal Life is a Strait and Narrow Passage; That If we Would be Christ’s Disciples it is Necessary that we should Deny ourselves; Not Every One that Saith unto me Lord, Lord, Shall Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that Doth the Will of my Father which is in Heaven; Sudden Conversions Are Very Often False; God Sometimes Punishes Sin by Giving Men Up to Sin; There is Such a Thing as Mens’ Going on to Provoke God by their Sins till they have Committed the Last Sin that God will Bear with Before He, as it were, Takes up a Resolution that they Never Shall be Saved; Those that Go on in the Sin of Drunkenness Under the Light of God’s Word Are in the Way to Bring God’s Fearful Wrath and a Most Amazing Destruction Upon Themselves; Though a People that Live under Means are Wont in General to Seek and Hope for Salvation yet ’tis the Election Only that Obtain and the Rest are Blinded; ’Tis Greatly to be Desired That We Should Have a Thorough and Not a Slight and Deceitful Cure of Our Spiritual Wound; Persons in Seeking Heaven Should Behave in Like Manner as Resolute Soldiers do in Taking a Country or Kingdom in Which They are Strongly Opposed; and God Unalterably Determines the Limits of Every Man’s Life.
