Excerpt from The Gospel Plan, or a Systematical Treatise on the Leading Doctrines of Salvation: Intended to Encourage Sinners to Believe in Christ, and to Direct Believers How to Obtain the Comforts of the Gospel and to Make Progress in a Life of Religion
I have been frequently solicited to publish my views of the gospel plan of salvation; and have for several years withstood those solicitations. Ministers of the gospel with whom I was acquainted, as well as very many other men of pious character, who were acquainted with my manner of preaching, have urged me to comply with this request. I still declined, for reasons which, perhaps, ought yet to keep me back. I urged, as my excuse for not printing, what I thought were good reasons, viz. I was too young to become an author; my head was not gray; and what was the worst of all, I was afraid that, although I could preach, and ihoped to some advan tage, yet my want of popularity, and the want of judg ment in the important doctrines of the gospel, rendered it improper to commit my thoughts to the press; at least, until I would arrive to riper years. I thought the world had very good books to read already; and I was sure it had nonsense enough, and an over stock of books which are little here, or there, and no profit, except the price to the author and printer.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of Christian theology, exploring the profound concept of the "Gospel Plan" ââ â the divine strategy for salvation. Rooted in the evangelical tradition of the early 19th century, the author meticulously examines the core tenets of Christian belief, guiding readers through the intricacies of sin, redemption, and the path to eternal life. The author's exploration begins by establishing the inherent sinfulness of humanity, emphasizing the depth of human depravity and the desperate need for divine intervention. The book then delves into the eternal counsel of God, elucidating the doctrine of election and its implications for understanding God's sovereign grace. Further chapters delve into the nature of God's laws, contrasting the "covenant of works" with the "covenant of grace" and highlighting the redemptive role of Jesus Christ. The author meticulously analyzes the role of faith, repentance, and sanctification in the believer's journey, offering practical insights for Christian living. Ultimately, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the Gospel Plan, illuminating the path to salvation and providing profound insights into the nature of God's love, justice, and mercy.
