The Intro. alone is worth double the price.
Through the Bible and this book, I understand genuine saving faith.
Thank you, Dr. MacArthur.

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

I am amazed at how people argue against this, so called, "Lordship Salvation" topic. Whether one reads the book or not, Jesus Christ was perfectly clear that He is Lord over those who believe in Him. The fruit of salvation *MUST* be expressed in a Christians life to reveal the truth of conversion. Many people state that they are Christians, but show forth NO expression of that truth in their lives. It's simple ~ Jesus demands obedience! The Bible shows forth this truth time and time again...
[Quote]
"Then his (Jesus) mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you. "But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and DO IT." Luke 8:19-21
I recommend this book to all Christians. I believe MacArthur does an excellent job in defending the truth of Jesus' Gospel. If you are not a fan of John MacArthur, or you don't believe in the sovereignty of God; please do NOT let that stop you from reading this book. The truth contained in its pages alone is worth the read. :)

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. . . Mr. MacArthur's beautifully laid out presentation invites one to allow their acceptance in faith to be the starting point of an eternal relationship. Faith enraptures the believer in righteousness and moves him into a repentant lifestyle. A new life filled with spiritual self-examination. A moving away from selfishness to selflessness. A communion with right and a turning from wrong. Any salvation through faith that does not alter a lifestyle of sin and transform the heart is not the salvation that God's word speaks. Yes faithfully accepting Jesus as your personal Savior is essential in salvation. But that is only the beginning of you soulfilled desire to voluntarily love and emmulate Jesus. Faith does not allow simple lip service and then a return to your darkened selfish world. He that practices life in faith comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God. Thus these are the challenges this book deeply and carefully presents and discusses. It is extensively footnoted to the New Testament. It expounds the major evangelistic messages of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Though a powerful argument, there are weaknesses. February 8, 2008

From message preached by Dr. MacArthur:
"It's amazing, but a believer can be just as barren and just as fruitless as an unbeliever. And therefore completely indistinguishable from an apostate, an evil doer, a superficial false Christian."
I recommend that those who love and listen to Dr.MacArthur consider that he is not 100 % fullproof in his stance on this subject.
See his message "Remembering what you Know" from the [...] website.
