Why Did Jesus Live a Perfect Life? – The Necessity of Christ`s Obedience for Our Salvation

How Does Christ's Obedience Relate to Our Salvation. This book explains how we are saved by Christ's perfect obedience, which has implications for understanding the gospel message, Christian hope, and discipleship. "In the extensive debates over justification that have captured a great deal of attention in the last quarter century, relatively little space has been allotted to the role of Jesus's obedience. That lacuna has now been admirably filled by Crowe. The combination of his careful exegesis and his knowledge of earlier Reformed debates makes him an admirable guide across terrain that should not be bypassed. "-D. A. Carson. , Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus)"With profound biblical and theological insight, Crowe teaches us that we not only need our sins forgiven but also need the spotless righteousness of our Savior. Here is a book that is not only accessible but timely: in a day when imputation is often rejected, Crowe reveals just how critical Christ's entire life is to our union with Christ. "-Matthew Barrett. , Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; host of the Credo Podcast. "Some think the imputation of Christ's righteousness is abstract and separated from our everyday lives. Crowe shows that the doctrine is woven into the warp and woof of biblical teaching, and that knowing and cherishing this truth is vital for spiritual life. This is an ideal resource both for young believers and for those who have known the good news for years. I hope and pray for a wide reading of this profound book. "-Thomas R. Schreiner. , Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"In an accessible survey of biblical passages that reflects careful and insightful handling of Scripture and that converses with some of the best theological minds of the church, Crowe helps us to see that the obedience of Christ is truly good news for sinners. This book will benefit both nonspecialists and scholars as it brings to light an often-neglected but vital line of the New Testament's testimony to Christ.
