Publisher Description
The first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide acclaim in confronting the “easy-believism” that has characterized some aspects of evangelical Christianity. Over the past 50 years, a handful of books have become true classics, revered world-wide for their crystal-clear presentation of the Gospel and lauded for their contribution to the Christian faith. These extraordinary books are read, re-read, and discussed in churches, Bible study groups, and homes everywhere. John MacArthur’s The Gospel According to Jesus is one of those books. In The Gospel According to Jesus, MacArthur tackles the idea of “easy believism,” challenging Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, “What does it really mean to be saved?” He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obediently walking with Jesus as Lord. This 20th anniversary edition of MacArthur’s provocative, Scripture-based book contains one new chapterand is further revised to provide Christians in the 21st century a fresh perspective on the intrinsic relationship between faith and works, clearly revealing Why Jesus is both Savior and Lord to all who believe.
Customer Reviews
I hope you are wrong
Mr. MacArthur thinks that every true Christian is a disciple. So I guess he has sold everything and given it to the poor, Mark 10:21. Well, no, he hasn’t. Anyway he is opposing the view that some are disciples and some are sheep and I hope he is wrong. In addition, he strongly advocates obedience which I agree with but, to me, my obedience is borne of love for God and my neighbor. If this is Mr. MacArthur’s position, it is not evident. He presents a lot of information and I listened to it a couple of times and will probably listen to it again.
