The apostle Paul penned a number of very pithy, focused passages in his letters to the early church, that summarise the gospel message in just a few well-chosen words. Each of these key texts has a unique emphasis, highlighting some essential aspect of the Good News. The chapters in this book closely examine those vital gospel texts, one verse at a time. John MacArthur, tackles such questions as: • What is the gospel? • What are the essential elements of the message? • How can we be certain we have it right? • And how should Christians be proclaiming the Good News to the world? As always, the answers John MacArthur gives are clear, compelling, well-reasoned, easy to grasp, and above all, thoroughly biblical.
