Overview

Part Three of Barnhouse’s commentary, entitled God’s Remedy, looks at Romans 3:21 – 4:1-25. After the sobering examination of mankind’s unrighteousness and God’s justifiable wrath, Barnhouse discusses the “righteousness of God manifested in Christ. What could not be produced by man is here seen as provided for man.”

God’s Remedy includes the messages “Righteousness Without the Law,” “Redemption,” “The Blood of Christ,” “Faith Apart from the Law,” “The Progress and Growth of Faith,” and 32 others. Throughout Part Three, Barnhouse develops the concept of God’s Grace in the New Covenant, and points to the hope in Christ for all mankind; “That is why I say that Christianity can be expressed in the three phases: I deserved Hell; Jesus took my Hell; there is nothing left for me but His Heaven.”

“Why is it called ‘the righteousness of God?’ There might be several answers to this question, and since all of them are true, they are probably all parts of the complete answer which we will only know fully when we have been made like Him. The righteousness of God is specifically His because of the nature of His being. He is the One who is righteousness in Himself. But also because it is His righteousness, He must demand it of us. The righteousness which He is must be the righteousness with which He surrounds Himself. Therefore He must demand of us a righteousness equal to His own. However, since none of us can produce this righteousness, it is proper to call it the righteousness of God because it is also the righteousness which He provides freely for us.” (Page 7)

“If Christianity were a religion founded by Jesus Christ a bare nineteen centuries ago, then it would not be worth the trouble of considering it for a moment. But if it were founded by God the Father in conjunction with His eternal Son before the world began, then it is an entirely different matter. Herein, of course, lies the fact of the exclusive finality of revealed Christianity as the only true faith. All other religions are the gropings of man after God. The faith that is in Christ is God’s revelation of truth from Himself, in the terms and in the manner He wished us to have the truth.” (Page 195)

“Every religion, except that which was brought down by God himself in His planning for Jesus Christ and in the coming of Jesus Christ, is marked by something that man is supposed to do for God. But the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, and has shown us that God has done everything for man. That is the great difference between the faith that has been revealed from Heaven and the faiths that originate with men.” (Pages 11–12)

Donald Barnhouse (1895–1960) pastored the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia for 33 years. He studied at several schools, including Biola, Princeton Seminary, Eastern Seminary, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Out of a desire to spread God’s Word to a large audience, Barnhouse began a radio broadcast that featured preaching. That radio program, The Bible Study Hour, was heard on over 400 stations and was later telecast. The program continues to air today under the name Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible. Because of the radio program’s popularity, Barnhouse was asked to speak at many Bible conferences.

In 1931, Barnhouse founded the monthly magazine Eternity. For over 30 years, he wrote a column in every single issue. He has also written several books, including the titles in Expositions of Bible Doctrines: Taking the Epistle to the Romans as a Point of Departure (4 vols.).
