 The single most important thread in working through your disappointments is that your heart and mind ponder and grasp what the cross of Jesus Christ is all about. There is no pattern without the cross. There is no Good News without it. That is what the gospel is all about. Author: Ravi Zacharias |
| The use or abuse of Christianity in contradiction to the very message of the gospel reveals not the gospel for what it is, but the heart of man. That is why atheism is so bankrupt as a view of life, for it miserably fails to deal with the human condition as it really is. Author: Ravi Zacharias |
| We tend to give an unbeliever just enough of the gospel to get him or her to pray a prayer to receive Christ. Then we immediately put the gospel on the shelf, so to speak, and go on to the duties of discipleship. The grace that brought salvation to you is the same grace that teaches or disciplines you. But you must respond on the basis of grace, not law. Author: Jerry Bridges |
| Too many are not willing to give the Gospel a fair trial. They are too ignorant to speak wisely but not wise enough to speak ignorantly. A man is not a sinner because he is a skeptic; he is a skeptic because he is a sinner. Author: Vance Havner |
| The gospel is not speculation but fact. It is truth, because it is the record of a Person who is the Truth. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches. Author: Charles Hodge |

| The law by which God rules us, is as dear to Him as the gospel by which He saves us. Author: William Secker |
| Paul's claim [was] that the message he preached was the authentic gospel of Christ. It is this: two things on which Paul pre-eminently insisted - that salvation was provided by God's grace and that faith was the means by which men appropriated it. Author: F.F. Bruce

| The doctrines of the gospel are meant to mould us so that our lives begin to 'set' in the likeness of Christ. We have made little or no impression upon the world, for the very reason that the gospel doctrine has made a correspondingly slight impression upon us. It cannot be overemphasized that men and women who have accomplished anything in God's strength have always done so on the basis of their grasp of truth. Author: Sinclair B. Ferguson |
| Other men may preach the gospel better than I, but no man can preach a better gospel. Author: George Whitefield |
| All around us we see Christians and churches relaxing their grasp on the gospel, fumbling it, and in danger of letting it drop from their hands altogether. Author: John Stott

| The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. Author: Martyn Lloyd-Jones |
