Publisher's Synopsis
This book treats the subject of Justification by faith and is Dr. John Gill's treatment of the subject taught in his Body of Doctrinal Divinity in which he demonstrates that Justification is an Act of God and not an act of man's faith. It is written Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness Gill shows that the it that was counted to him for righteousness was the righteousness of Christ as it is to all who are justified by faith.Abraham believed God and by faith depended and believed all the promises of God, just as believers do in the Old and New Testaments.We are not justified because of the exercise of our faith, and many Christian beliefs, but by believing in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is an act of the new man, and a faith that draws assurance from the promises of God in the scripture.
