Untitled Sermon (16)

It means to be a gospel man, to live the gospel. Preaching is important, but then so is living. Paul’s call was to a way of life as well as to a task of preaching.

Leon Morris

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

Augustine of Hippo

The Old Testament is the Gospel in the bud, the New Testament is the Gospel in full flower.

John Stott

But what must tie us together as Christians is this passion for the gospel, this fellowship in the gospel.

D. A. Carson

In revelation, God is the agent as well as the object. It is not just that men speak about God, or for God; God speaks for Himself, and talks to us in person.

J. I. Packer

Revelation is a divine activity: not, therefore, a human achievement. Revelation is not the same thing as discovery or the dawning of insight, or the emerging of a bright idea. Revelation does not mean man fording God, but God finding man, God sharing his secrets with us, God showing us himself.

J. I. Packer

Apart from special, saving revelation—the revelation that centres upon the Lord Jesus Christ—we do not and cannot know God.

Christianity … is the revelation of God, not the research of man.
