Book Overview

What is authentic faith?

The Gospel According to Jesus challenges 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 obedience.

John MacArthur tackles the error of "easy-believism" by addressing these questions:

Is it possible to accept Jesus as Savior while refusing him as Lord?Can someone truly believe without actually repenting?How do obedience, commitment to Christ, and turning from sin fit together with the truth that we are saved by grace through faith alone?

The Gospel According to Jesus is just as powerful today as it was more than two decades ago. It is a Scripture-based clarion call for a rejection of the watered-down message that has gained popularity in the church and a return to the gospel Jesus preached. This 20th anniversary edition adds a powerful new chapter to the complete text of the original classic, reinforcing the book's timeless message--that Jesus demands to be both Savior and Lord to all who believe. This book is compulsory reading for Christians from all walks of life and will help guide you into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Even for a young reader.

I read this over the summer and I loved it. It gave me a better foundation for my faith. I'm 19, by the way. Even if you're a young Christian, this is very impact full. I sincerely believe that my generation can understand and should have a level of depth, that John brings in his teaching. Anyone, of any age, earnestly desiring to understand God's Word, should read Johns books and listen to his teaching. He isn't the absolute,...

As The End Times Near

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith? I don't always care for MacArthur's writings. He seems a bit full of himself. But on this topic he is right on the spot. The church is in the process of replacing the real Jesus with a made-up non-lord of the universe one. Buy this book, read it, and pray for us all

Life Wrought in Love

Tell you family that you love them and ... thats it. Go back to the TV and leave them alone. Right? WRONG! . . Thus faith is just the beginning of a relationship. Faith is not a singularity. It bonds with love and progresses toward yearning and action. It matures into discipleship. . . Thats exactly the point of this inspiring book. No it is not and does not claim to be a gospel as some dumbfounded reviewers have accused...

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.

The Remedy to Modern Antinomianism

"The Gospel According to Jesus" is a modern-day theological masterpiece. With piercing discernment, Spirit-led exegesis, and Christian love John MacArthur exposes the error of the "cheap grace" theology that plagues the church today. His analysis of Christ's words is the much-needed cure for the common misinterpretations of Paul which have led to antinomian teaching. This book is a response to those who "distort [Paul's letters],...
