The Everlasting Righteousness

Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)

Horatius Bonar traces the biblical logic of imputed righteousness from the Old Testament sacrificial system to its fulfillment in Christ, arguing that the believer's standing before God rests entirely on the completed work of Another. Written against moralistic dilutions of the gospel and the widespread uncertainties about assurance common in his day, it insists that justification is a once-for-all verdict, not a shifting condition. Bonar was the foremost hymn writer of the Scottish church in his generation, and his theological writing shares the same clarity and warmth his hymns display.
