Let Us Reason Together
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).
God has always offered forgiveness to people who come to Him on His terms. In Let Us Reason Together, Brad Collins takes that invitation from Isaiah and asks the question every honest seeker eventually asks: what must I do to be saved? Rather than handing the reader a slogan, he opens the Scriptures and lets them speak, walking carefully through the relationship between grace, faith, and obedience.
Brad begins with the Philippian jailer in Acts 16 and then traces the same pattern through the whole Bible. He looks at how Old Testament men and women walked "by faith," explains what Paul meant in Ephesians 2:8-10 and Galatians 3, and shows how Paul and James fit together once you see the difference between works of law and works of faith. From there he takes up the passages people most often raise in these conversations, including John 3:16, the thief on the cross, the conversions in Acts, and the conversion of Saul, before closing with what the New Testament teaches about baptism and the one church the Lord adds the saved to.
The tone throughout is patient and gracious. Brad writes the way a friend would sit down with you over an open Bible, and he never loses sight of the good news that our sins are forgiven in Christ. This booklet works well as something to hand a friend who is asking questions, as a study guide for a home Bible study, or as a refresher for Christians who want to answer these questions clearly.
