The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues — but to be seen in our lives.
— J. C. Ryle
The Glory of the Gospel
The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world she invariably attracts it.
— D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Challenge of the Gospel
Christians are in themselves no wiser than are other men. What they have they have by grace. They must be ‘all things to all men.’ But it is not kindness to tell patients that need strong medicine that nothing serious is wrong with them. Christians are bound to tell men the truth about themselves; that is the only way of bringing them to recognize the mercy, the compassion, of Christ. For if men are told the truth about themselves, and if they are warned against the false remedies that establish men in their wickedness, then, by the power of the Spirit of God, they will flee to the Christ through whom alone they must be saved.
— Cornelius Van Til
Good News
So tenaciously should we cling to the world revealed by the gospel, that were I to see all the angels of heaven coming down to me to tell me something different, not only would I not be tempted to doubt a single syllable, but I would shut my eyes and stop my ears, for they would not deserve to be either seen or heard.
— Martin Luther
The Gospel
That God should be kindly disposed to a world that hates Him so as to bring the gospel of good news to them all is gracious, and that he should go further and actually apply that gospel in such a way as to rescue men and transform them is marvelous.
— Erroll Hulse
