Gospel according to Jesus, The : What Does Jesus Mean When He says, "Follow Me"?
Outline: - What does Jesus mean when He says "Follow Me"?
- If we are justified "apart from works of the Law" (Rom 3:28), does this mean that works are insignificant to our salvation?
- Can we have Christ as Savior without having him as Lord? Is there salvation without obedience?
The message proclaimed today by miny Christians is not the gospel according to Jesus. It is true that Jesus taught good news, but he did not teach the easy-believism that is ravaging the American evangelical movement. Many today take salvation too lightly by ignoring the warnings of Jesus that the cost of discipleship is high, the way narrow so that few find it, and that not all who call Jesus Lord will be accepted into the Kingdom. The Gospel According to Jesus clearly teaches that there is no eternal life without surrender to the lordship of Christ. MacArthur shows that faith without works is dead. And deadly. It is deadly because a faith without works is no faith at all. Nothing can be conceived as evidence of salvation apart from a life of obedience, a life that shows the fruit of transformed behavior. Faith is dead faith if it lacks the fruit of true righteousness. Salvation is defined not by what one does to get it but by what it produces; it is the outworking of regeneration in one's life.
