In his book The Heart of Christ, Thomas Goodwin explores the intimate relationship between Christians and the glorified Jesus Christ in heaven. He poses an important question: now that Christ sits exalted in glory, does he still have mercy and compassion for struggling sinners down on earth? In the Gospels, we meet a gentle and welcoming Jesus who offers forgiveness to all. But what about the Christ enthroned in majesty - can we run to him in our weaknesses? Goodwin provides reassuring answers. He explains that despite his exalted position, Jesus deeply cares for his people. His glorified heart overflows with love and mercy even for poor, sinful souls. For centuries, Goodwin's moving descriptions of Christ's affection for believers have brought comfort and delight to Christian hearts. This book offers a life-giving glimpse into the never-ending compassion at the heart of our reigning Lord.

Este no es un manual típico sobre la doctrina de Cristo. Es una guía para mantener el corazón y la fe enfocados en la dirección correcta, es decir, hacia Cristo mismo. En su profundidad y en su alcance, Goodwin despeja diligentemente cualquier distracción o malentendido que pueda desplazar a Cristo en el corazón de uno. Capítulo tras capítulo, el lector es introducido a la magnificencia de Cristo y su obra como mediador: el único objeto verdadero de nuestra fe y afecto.En esta edición, tanto los lectores fieles de Goodwin como aquellos que descubren su sabiduría por primera vez, encontrarán consuelo y claridad. Que este libro actúe como una brújula, llevando a los creyentes a la luz redentora y la verdad inmutable de Cristo.>"Goodwin es siempre un intérprete de la Escritura, y uno de mil... Goodwin está siempre lleno de la más madura erudición bíblica y de la Reforma, repleto, como siempre lo está, de los mejores conocimientos teológicos y filosóficos de su tiempo y de todos los días anteriores; rebosante, también, como siempre lo está, de la más profunda experiencia espiritual... Sin embargo, también es muy claro, directo, sin tecnicismos, personal y pastoral."Alexander Whyte Thomas Goodwin (1600 - 1680) fue un teólogo y líder del congregacionalismo puritano. Goodwin es recordado por su profunda influencia en el pensamiento religioso de su tiempo, y su extenso legado teológico. Entre sus obras más conocidas se encuentra Un retrato de la obra de Cristo. En su teología, Goodwin subrayó la importancia de la experiencia personal de la fe y la seguridad de la salvación.

In this work from the Puritan Thomas Goodwin, he walks the Christian through Romans 8:34 to explain how because Christ has died, risen, and now sits at the right hand of God he is the perfect mediator between God and man and there is none that can condemn the Christian. This work would be good for any Christian who doubts the works of Christ and their salvation.
