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.

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.

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.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit and said and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesui Christ.?1 Thes. V. 28. CHAPTER I. wards of the text explained.?That all the faculties of tlie soul, even the mind, are wliolly corrupted, proved from the expressions concerning it in Scripture, and from the equal extent both of sin and grace. These words have no coherence or dependence with the foregoing, for the conclusion of the epistle doth begin with them. They are a prayer for the working and perfecting that sanctification in them unto which he had exhorted, and which God had begun to work. Concerning which you have these things. 1. The author of this sanctification, God, to whom Paul prays to work and perfect it. And in prayer believers use to suit their invocation to God, according to the nature of the blessing they seek for. James i. 5, ' If auy of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, ' ver. 17, ' the Father of lights.' So if we pray for mercy and comfort, then we are to call upon God, as the Father of mercies and God of all consolation, as Paul doth, 2 Cor. i. 8, ' Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.' Yet still we are to use such expressions, both as motives to move God out of his fulness to bestow what we ask, and as a strengthening to our own faith.
