Francis Schaeffer’s Gospel Turning Point
There was an excellent blog posted today at The Gospel Coalition about the turning point in Francis Schaeffer’s life and ministry. That turning point boiled down to a return to the ongoing role of the gospel in all of life. Check it out:
“I had heard little,” Schaeffer says, “about what the Bible says about the meaning of the finished work of Christ for our present lives.”
Francis Schaeffer came to discover, many years after his conversion, that the finished work of Christ mattered—mattered tremendously—for his present life. Not just for his past moment of conversion and not only for the future moment when he would stand before God. For today. As he says elsewhere, “I become a Christian once for all on the basis of the finished work of Christ through faith; that is justification. But the Christian life, sanctification, operates on the same basis, but moment by moment.”
