John MacArthur's earlier book The Gospel According to Jesus made him a theological lightning rod for people who think they understand what the Bible teaches about faith and works.
He could not have chosen a more sensitive topic that would draw more fire.
Ever since the days of the apostles Paul and James, Christians have struggled to define the proper tension between faith and works. Salvation, Paul stresses is "not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But James argues, "Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works" (2:18). In fact, he asserts, "Faith without works is dead."
In his characteristic compelling style Dr. MacArthur reconciles these two seemingly divergent threads of biblical truth, taking on the difficult questions head on:
What is cheap grace?
Have some Christians adopted a quot;no-lordship" theology?
What must a person do to be considered righteous by God?
Do our works have any affect on our salvation?
Jesus asked his followers, "Why do you call me Lord and not do the things that I tell you to?" When John MacArthur dared in his earlier book to ask us this question, critics accused him of shelving grace. Others read the same book and heard in it the identical message preached since the founding of the Church.
Will this book clear the air or revive the controversy?
"The Gospel According to the Apostles is the same gospel Jesus preached," Dr. MacArthur says, "but it differs dramatically from the diluted message popular today. I pray you'll find this book an encouragement as you seek to put your own faith to work."
Faith Works!
Deals a Death Blow to "Easy Believe-ism"Dr. MacArthur, through a masterful illustration using numerous scripture references, shows how that the grace that saves is an active, vibrant grace that is efficacious in the life of the believer, that even though we are saved by "faith alone," it is not a "faith that is alone." The Holy Spirit is at work mightily within the life of the undeserving, hell-bound, but redeemed person, "to will and to work of His own good pleasure."
Those that have trusted on human merit, a dry-eyed confession, and simply walking an aisle to shake hands with a minister for a salvation experience should read this book carefully and "examine themselves to see if they are in the faith." Dr. MacArthur's work will go a long way in the edification of the Body of Christ, and combatting the rampant apostasy regarding the study of salvation.
Effectively deals with cheap grace
A Masterful Defense of the Biblical GospelJohn MacArthur Jr. masterfully expounds and defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ (as revealed in the Gospels), the Gospel proclaimed by the Apostles, the Gospel of the Bible.
If you've read or are considering reading a book by those of the so called "free grace" position, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
Then read the New Testament and decide for yourself which "gospel" is the true, biblical Gospel.
Commendable in Many Ways, but Lacking in Focus
Once again, the master preacher does not disappoint
Faith and works in proper balanceThe chapters on Romans 6 (Free from Sin, Slaves of Righteousness) and Romans 7 (The Death Struggle with Sin) are some of the best I know of.
I highly recommend this book!
