I've been starting to see a great need in gospel-talk circles for emphasizing union with Christ and its implications and benefits. Gaffin has been life-changing for me on this. Thanks again for your work!Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568791109160852600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33057643.post-79509151292540377692011-06-15T11:39:07.254-05:002011-06-15T11:39:07.254-05:00I really liked the essay - it's great to see B...I really liked the essay - it's great to see Bavinck and Edwards joined together! (I really, really liked your book on Edwards, by the way.)<br /><br />But wouldn't you say that the title of your essay more aptly describes Berkouwer's position than Bavinck's? When I was reading it, I could give a hearty Amen to Bavinck but only a very qualified and subdued one for Berkouwer. I'm not sure precisely why. <br /><br />Maybe it seemed to me that there's a pretty significant distinction or difference of emphasis between the two Dutchmen on the means of sanctification (perhaps because of union with Christ). <br /><br />Would you say that this is generally accurate: <br /><br />Bavinck - Sanctified by trusting in Christ (the same Christ who justifies and the same trust that is the instrumental means of justification); <br /><br />Berkouwer - Sanctified by trusting in your justification (given by Christ).Jed S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33057643.post-87308927247852471132011-06-14T22:05:44.284-05:002011-06-14T22:05:44.284-05:00Great article!
