Be Reconciled with God presents twelve rare sermons preached by Andrew Gray. Each sermon is succinct and compelling, alluring and humbling. They are packed with both simple and profound thought communicated with almost tangible passion. When Gray preached from a text that invites sinners to come to Jesus unconditionally, his whole sermon consisted of compelling invitations. When he preached on experiential themes, such as union and intimate communion with Christ, his whole sermon unpacked these riches. When he preached on texts that focus on our responsibility to sanctify ourselves before God, his whole sermon presses us on the particular aspect of sanctification that his text stresses. When the text selected contained a strong emphasis on warning against one kind of sin or another, his whole sermon conveyed a solemn, urgent warning note to abandon that sin and flee to Christ. Gray was a preacher who was on fire, as it were, to bring his church family the whole counsel of God as contained in the variety of texts that he selected to preach. But each particular sermon focused like a laser beam on the text at hand. This helped make his sermons so compelling and powerful. Contents 1. Christ’s Treaty of Peace with Sinners 2. Christ’s Invitation to the Heavy Laden 3. The Spiritual Marriage 4. Believers are the Friends of God 5. An Exhortation to Perseverance 6. A Call to Behold One Greater than Solomon 7.

Does this idea bother you? God accepted the suffering death of Jesus to satisfy His justice—that is, His requirement of the penalty of death for every human missing of the mark. Would you like a solid and biblically correct reason to believe in the goodness of God? The truth of the gospel message is simple. You don't have to be especially educated or smart to understand it. The Bible does not hide it. But Church tradition has built a paradigm surrounding the cross that is hard to escape. Would you like to try? The Bible is a perfect puzzle. In order to put it together, no pieces can be squeezed or stretched. They must slip easily into place. Nobody has any more authority to put the pieces in place than anybody else. They just have to fit.

Owen was a renowned theologian in his day and this work is a piece of theological brilliance in the reformed and protestant tradition. The death of Christ had a wide range of implications on the fate of humanity and the cause of redemption that Christ came to give to us all. This work goes over all the arguments that have been set up against the reality of Christ's death and Owen brilliantly rebukes these arguments and settles it all.
