' "Have I then no work to work in this great matter of my pardon?" None. What work canst thou work? What work of thine can buy forgiveness, or make thee fit for the Divine favour? What work has God bidden thee work in order to obtain salvation? None. His Word is very plain, and easy to be understood: "To him that worketh not, but believeth in Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." (Rom. 4:5.)

There is but one work by which a man can be saved. That work is not thine, but the work of the Son of God. That work is finished,— neither to be taken from nor added to,—perfect through all ages,— and presented by Himself to you, that you may avail yourself of it and be saved. '

Thanks. Yes, that is the whole book. My pastor posted a quote from it this morning on his Facebook page, and away I went trying to find out where Bonar had written this. Guess I could of asked him but I like to search for sources that interest
me. :) I placed it in my favorites in my browser after I found it.

@tyndale1946 Isn't it wonderful that God has blessed us with such great Biblically-sound teaching that is within reach so easily on the internet? :)
