I've been working my way through Walter Marshall's The Gospel Mystery Of Sanctification recently. Thus far it has been a fantastic book, one in which I will likely find myself reading again (and again). Marshall has been paving a road between those who would add works to faith and those who seem to have a total disregard for the works of faith, and he does so through the lens of our union to Christ. It would take a better man than me to do justice in summarizing this book, but tonight's reading brought back a simple truth of the gospel to the forefront of my mind: Christ came to save sinners.
