The High Cost of a Free Gift: The Humiliation of Jesus

by KERMIT RONALDO TAYLOR

When we think about our salvation in most cases, we will focus on God’s gracious and undeserved goodness toward us. Though salvation flows from the grace of God, thereby making it free to all who put their trust in Jesus, free does not mean that our salvation is cheap or without great cost to God Himself. This book, The High Cost of a Free Gift, takes a very Christocentric looked at the gracious provision of salvation. This book focuses on all that it cost our Savior in order that He might be our perfect and eternal sacrifice for sin. By looking at the Christology of our salvation, this book encourages a greater appreciation for all that the Son of God endured in order that we might be saved. From His preincarnate glory to His descent into the grave, our Savior paid a high price in order that we might receive the free gift of salvation.

The dedication of the author to transport the reader to the events and truths of Jesus’ humiliation is admirable. The book helps to make you grateful and humble that Jesus would leave His place in glory to sacrifice Himself for our redemption. It is a must read!

[KERMIT TAYLOR · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book on the works of Christ from glory to the grave called His humiliation. It gives a unique preceptive on salvation from the viewpoint of what was the cost to God. Grace mean that salvation is free to those that trust Christ as Savior, but free does not mean cheap.
