The Gospel & The Jerusalem Above J. Gresham Machen: The very center and core of the whole Bible is the doctrine of the grace of God—the grace of God which depends not one whit upon anything that is in man, but is absolutely undeserved, resistless and sovereign. Galatians 4:21-31 Tell me, you who desire to … [Read More...] Galatians 4:21-31

The Gospel & The World's Principles John Calvin: Let us learn that the message of the gospel compels us to abandon all that sets itself in opposition to simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone must be our source of righteousness, for He alone is perfect.   R.A. Torrey: We are not saved … [Read More...] Galatians 4:8-20

The Gospel & The Heirs Thomas Watson: God has a Son of His own and such a Son, how wonderful God’s love in adopting us! We needed a Father, but He did not need sons!   J.I. Packer: If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes … [Read More...] Galatians 3:25-4:7

The Gospel & The Children John Stott: We are equal, equal in our need of salvation, equal in our inability to earn or deserve it, and equal in in the fact that God offers it to us freely in Christ. Once we have received it, our equality is transformed into a fellowship, the brotherhood which … [Read More...] Galatians 3:21-24

The Gospel & The Promise A.W. Tozer: Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines Him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God’s kindness to us in … [Read More...] Galatians 3:15-20

The Gospel & The Curse Charles Haddon Spurgeon: Away with your accursed and idolatrous dependence upon yourself; Christ has finished salvation-work, altogether finished it. Hold not up your rags in competition with his fair white linen: Christ has borne the curse; bring not your pitiful penances to mingle with the precious fountain flowing with his … [Read More...] Galatians 3:7-14

The Gospel & The Spirit Harry Ironside: If Christ has actually given Himself for me it is because it was impossible for me to do one thing to save myself. Because I could not fit myself for the presence of God, because I could not cleanse my heart from sin, because no work of righteousness … [Read More...] Galatians 3:1-6

The Gospel & New Life John Calvin: True faith always expresses itself by humility. It makes a man willing to count himself nothing, while attributing all praise to God. It would seem strange if a believer, who is a mere mortal, were to praise himself because Jesus Christ lives in him. Galatians 2:15-21 We ourselves … [Read More...] Galatians 2:15-21

The Gospel & Hypocrisy Martin Luther: Paul reproved Peter for no trifle, but for the chief article of Christian doctrine, which Peter's hypocrisy had endangered. No one except Paul had his eyes open. Consequently it was his duty to reprove Peter and his followers for swerving from the truth of the Gospel. It was no … [Read More...] Galatians 2:11-16

The Gospel & the Apostles Charles Haddon Spurgeon: There are many points and particulars in which the gospel is offensive to human nature, and revolting to the pride of the creature. It was not intended to please man. How can we attribute such a purpose to God? Why should he devise a gospel to suit … [Read More...] Galatians 2:1-10
