Description
Three key factors guided our choice of this theme.
First, we sought to maintain the balance of divine Truth. Second, we recognized the pressing need to prominently reintroduce “the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” to our readers. Third, this topic addresses a frequently overlooked aspect of the Gospel in contemporary preaching.
A Question on Divine Reconciliation
“What does the phrase ‘a reconciled God’ mean? Some of the Lord’s people—even respected and godly men—have used this expression. Yet if the Lord Jehovah, from eternity, foresaw the fall and ordained the salvation of His elect in Christ—without compromising His holiness, justice, or other attributes—how can ‘reconcile’ properly apply to Him? Since love was His primary motive, does ‘reconciliation’ imply a change in God? If so, is the term appropriate when speaking of Him?”
Arthur Walkington Pink: A Brief Background
Arthur Walkington Pink was an English evangelist and biblical scholar renowned for his unwavering Calvinist and Puritan teachings. Though raised in a Christian home, he once strayed into the Theosophical Society—an occult Gnostic movement prominent in England at the time—where he gained significant influence. His eventual conversion was spurred by his father’s persistent scriptural guidance, particularly the conviction of Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” This truth pierced his heart, leading him to abandon Theosophy and wholeheartedly follow Christ.
