Jesus' Teachings on Salvation

"The gospel in vogue today holds forth a false hope to sinners. It promises them they can have eternal life yet continue to live in rebellion against God." ~ John F. MacArthur

John F. MacArthur presents a more radical approach to Christianity. In "The Gospel According to Jesus" he takes the reader on a journey to the heart of Jesus' message. This book is the result of seven years of serious study and it shows. He answers the following questions:

What is authentic faith in Christ?
What is a true conversion?
Will asking Jesus into your heart get you to heaven?
Can you become a believer if you don't repent of your sins?
What are the signs of a true believer?

If you have ever had any doubts about your salvation this is a very interesting read. Not only does the author base his teachings on the words of Christ, he explains them in ways I've never heard before. I was very interested in his comparison between Nicodemus and the woman by the well. He also brings a much fuller understanding to biblical stories of salvation.

"The mark of a true disciple is not that he never sins, but rather that when he does sin he inevitably returns to the Lord to receive cleansing and forgiveness." ~ pg. 111

John F. MacArthur makes some excellent points about the life of a Christian after conversion. Many of the topics discussed will shock you back into the reality of Christ's true teachings. Throughout this book he explains the spiritual truths in Jesus' parables.

What I appreciated most about this work was the emphasis on Jesus' teachings and the excellent translation of Jesus' ideas for our modern society. If you are willing to take an honest look at your faith then I can highly recommend this to you. I can honestly say that the teachings in this book will lead you to a much happier life as a Christian. You can test out the theories and teachings and decide what is true in your own life.

Very good book

It once-and-for-all refutes the false doctrine of "easy-believism" (correctly termed as "easy-credulism" in Spanish)! I highly recommend it.

Excellent book

This book demonstrates that the author has thought carefully about the issues involved. The book is inspiring, deep and gives much food for thought. I have a fresh appreciation and understanding for a number of Jesus's parables after reading this book. Highly recommended for those who like to grapple with meaning behind Christ's teachings and apply it to their life.

A Much Needed Corrective to a Faulty Gospel

This book is a must read for any minister of the Gospel. The stakes are too high to ignore John MacArthur's message, for some are in peril of stepping into eternity unsaved because ministers who should know better have given them a faulty, unbiblical gospel and a false security. I confess that I was astounded at my first reading of "The Gospel According to Jesus" to discover that seminary professors from one of the most respected evangelical seminaries in the country have been teaching salvation without repentance and that one can actually cease to believe in Christ yet still be saved. Had MacArthur not footnoted every quote, I would not have believed it. However, led by the footnotes, I purchased and read the books by those errant professors and found MacArthur's assessment to be accurate. It is little wonder that so many professing Christians look no different from the world in which they live. They have never been truly converted to genuine faith in Jesus Christ.

Solid Theology

This book is very worthwhile. Cites scripture to make points. Valuable for learning how to evangelize effectively and also for personal discipleship. Not fluffy.
