THE WILL AND COMMAND OF GOD

an essay by John Schaller

(Just to present this essay online justifies the existence of Luther Land.)
This essay addresses the fundamental misconceptions many preachers, laymen, and theologians have regarding God's use of "command" (imperative) language in the Scriptures. If we get this wrong, we will not fully understand any of the "evangelical" commands to believers in the New Testament: "Repent...," "Believe...," "Go...," "Baptize...," etc.. Aspects covered include:

This essay is beautifully and Scripturally argued. The reasoning is powerful and clear, though it reflects its old German roots in lacking ornamentation. It flows naturally from point to point, and it answers many of the questions and objections the reader may have. What it contains is very sensible and understandable, but is rarely expressed these days.

IT COULD BE AN EYE-OPENER FOR A FRIEND.
