The Gospel of God: Good News Illustrated

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 4:1-25 “Probably more trouble is caused in the Christian life by an inadequate or mistaken view of this doctrine [of justification] than any other. When the child of God loses his sense of peace with God, finds his concern for others dried up, or generally finds his sense of the sheer goodness and grace of God diminished, it is from this fountain that he has ceased to drink. Conversely, if we can gain a solid grounding here, we have the foundation for a life of peace and joy.” Sinclair Ferguson, The Christian Life “Forgiveness remits our debts and cancels our liability to punishment; justification bestows on us a righteous standing before God.” John Stott, The Cross of Christ “Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness, My beauty are, my glorious dress; Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy I shall lift up my head.” Nicolaus Ludwig Von Zinzendorf “Faith is holding on to the faithfulness of God. Faith does not even look at itself. I go further. Faith is never interested in itself and never talks about itself. That to me is a very good test. I always distrust people who talk about their faith. That is the characteristic of the cults. They always direct attention to themselves . . . the emphasis is on self. But faith looks at God, holds on to the faithfulness of God. Abraham ‘gave glory to God.’” David Martyn Lloyd-JonesThe post The Gospel of God: Good News Illustrated first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
