The Sinner’s Sanctuary: Gospel Freedom from Death, Condemnation, and the Law

The Sinner’s Sanctuary consists of a series of forty sermons on Romans 8:1–15. They were preached by Hugh Binning, minister in Govan, now part of Glasgow, on the south bank of the River Clyde in the west of Scotland. Walking readers through the apostle Paul’s argument, Binning carefully explains the safety and freedom saved sinners experience through life united to Christ and walking according to His Spirit. The results are particularly powerful and comforting for believers. These sermons are representative of Binning’s all-too-brief ministry from 1650 until his death in 1653 at the age of twenty-six. He was, by any measure, a remarkable minister.
