Description
The brilliance and diversity of Edwards' theology find unity in the beauty of Christ revealing and communicating the infinite excellence of the Trinity through saving unworthy sinners by obedience to God's unchanging rule of righteousness. Salvation of a single soul without perfect conformity to God's requirement for eternal life would render God unrighteous and destroy His ultimate purpose to display and communicate His glory - God would not be God. Revisionist interpretations of Edwards' soteriology as inclusive or Catholic, therefore, are untenable without an overthrow and rewrite of Edwards' entire theology. And while every act of Christ was both propitiatory and meritorious, His obedience to death comprises the righteousness imputed to believers by which they are justified, earning the infinite merit by which they are rewarded. By this Christ accomplished God's ultimate purpose to display and communicate His glory, consummated by the eternal happiness of Christ and His bride in heaven.
