John Newton and John Owen were two very different Christians but they
were united in their view of how Old Testament believers were saved and
what their faith was in.
John Newton taught that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was revealed
immediately after Adam and Eve’s first sin and became the object of
faith from that moment on.
The Lord Jesus was promised under the character of the seed of the woman, as
the great deliverer who should repair the breach of sin, and retrieve
the ruin of human nature. From that hour, he became the object of faith,
and the author of salvation, to every soul that aspired to communion
with God, and earnestly sought deliverance from guilt and wrath (Works, Vol. 3, p. 3). Continue at David Murray
