The Gospel’s Power and Message

Top Highlights

“Fourthly, to receive the gospel is to receive an entirely different view of reality where Christ is the epicenter of all things. It is for this reason that theologians refer to salvation and the Christian life as Christocentric. He becomes the center of our universe, the source, the purpose, the goal, and the motivation of all that we are and do. When a man receives the gospel, his entire life begins to be lived out in a different context, and that context is Christ.” (Pages 11–12)

“The postmodern man, who prefers a bit more humility and openness to other viewpoints, considers a passionate preacher who proclaims the truth boldly and unapologetically to be an obstacle. The majority argument is that we simply must change the way we preach because it just looks foolish to the world.” (Page 7)

“According to the Scriptures, faith is being fully assured that what God has promised, He is also able to perform.” (Page 67)

“We should never present Christ to the unbeliever as the cherry on top of an already wonderful life. The unbeliever must see that he has no life, and that all his personal achievements prior to Christ are monuments to his own vanity: made of sand and quickly passing.” (Page 12)

“Furthermore, he must warn all men that the evidence that a person has truly and savingly tasted of Christ is that he goes on tasting, he goes on finding satisfaction in Christ, and he cannot bear the thought of ever being separated from Him.” (Page 13)
