The Savior’s Gospel

Galatians 1:6-11

Vance Havner, “Preaching the truth makes people either sad, mad, or glad. Responsibility of the preacher is not to make folks happy, but point them toward holiness.”

Martin Lloyd Jones, “If you and I preach the Bible as the true word of God, like He wrote it, it will naturally sound like we are preaching an easy gospel when we say Jesus Christ died for our sins. It will sound to ill-equipped ears like an easy gospel. But when we understand who He is and who we are in Him, the shackles and bondage of law are torn asunder and we become free to serve, and live. We are motivated by love and not concerned what others think.”
