Christ Set Forth
Thomas Goodwin's exposition of Romans 8:34 tackles a problem that quietly drains many Christians: the habit of searching their own hearts for evidence of grace instead of resting on Christ himself. Goodwin walks through Christ's death, resurrection, ascension, session at God's right hand, and ongoing intercession, showing how each stage of the Redeemer's work speaks justification to the believer, redirecting assurance away from fluctuating feelings toward the finished work of a living Savior.

In Thomas Goodwin's own words
“Whensoever we would go down into our own hearts, and take a view of our graces, let us be sure first to look wholly out of ourselves unto Christ, as our justification, and to close with him immediately.”
“That which I have here endeavoured is to set forth to all sorts of believers, whether they have assurance or not, Christ as he is the object of our faith as justifying, and as the cause of justification to us.”
