The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification presents the culmination of Puritan thought on living the Christian life. Combining doctrinal precision and pastoral sensitivity, Walter Marshall shows how sanctification is essential to spiritual life, dependent on spiritual union with Jesus Christ, and inseparable - though distinct - from justification. Marshall shows how holiness involves both the mind and the soul of the believer and that it is the aim of the Christian life.
It is no wonder that this book has been reprinted many times throughout the years and received such high praise from leading ministers of the gospel.

"[This is] the classic Puritan work on the relationship between justification and sanctification. This book has helped deliver scores of people throughout church history from the bondage of legalism and antinomianism and enabled them to embrace the precious doctrine of justification by gracious faith alone with liberty, without sacrificing the need for grateful fruits of personal holiness."
- Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
“If you are Reformed and want to know how to preach a robust biblical doctrine of growth in grace in the Christian life that is gospel-shaped, Spirit-empowered, and Christ-centered and that does not denigrate the third use of the law, then Marshall is your man, and Gospel Mystery is your book.”
—J. Ligon Duncan III, senior minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi
The doctrine of sanctification can be a difficult one to grasp. But thankfully God has provided his church with works such as this that pave the way to a proper understanding of this most important doctrine. The language in the book is a little old school, but I am no doubt that the reader willing to invest their money and time into it will be handsomely rewarded.
God hath abundantly discovered to us, in his word, that his method in bringing men from sin to holiness of life, is, first to make then know that he loveth them, and that their sins are blotted out. When he gave the ten commandments on mount Sinai, he first discovered himself to be their God, that had given them a sure pledge of his salvation, by their delivery from Egypt, in the preface (Exod. xx. 2). - Pg 19
I have made it appear, that a hearty propensity to a holy practice cannot be attained without some good persuasion of our reconciliation with God by justification, and of our everlasting happiness, and of sufficient strength both to will and to perform our duty; and that these, and all other endowments necessary to the same end, are to be had only in Christ, by union and fellow-ship with him; and that Christ himself, with all his fulness, is united to us by faith; which is not a condition to procure a right and title to Christ, but an instrument whereby we receive him actually into our hearts, by trusting on him for all salvation freely promised us in the gospel. - Pg 77
A long wordy book filled with Bible references but a goldmine for anyone willing to study it it is the fruit of Marshall's search for holy living and peace of conscience and joy in the Holy Ghost which he found by his union with Jesus Christ
