The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?
What is authentic faith? The Gospel According to Jesus challenges Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obedience. John MacArthur tackles the error of "easy-believism" by addressing these questions:
• Is it possible to accept Jesus as Savior while refusing him as Lord?
• Can someone truly believe without actually repenting?
• How do obedience, commitment to Christ, and turning from sin fit together with the truth that we are saved by grace through faith alone?
The Gospel According to Jesus is just as powerful today as it was more than two decades ago. It is a Scripture-based clarion call for a rejection of the watered-down message that has gained popularity in the church and a return to the gospel Jesus preached. This 20th anniversary edition adds a powerful new chapter to the complete text of the original classic, reinforcing the book's timeless message—that Jesus demands to be both Savior and Lord to all who believe. This book is compulsory reading for Christians from all walks of life and will help guide you into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

‘This is a gem of a book, I have slowed right down reading it because there is so much great information and a great depth of teaching in it. I have re-read and highlighted and underlined certain parts of the book already before reading the rest of the book because it was so good. This was first produced in the 80's and is still in print and talked about. I even found an interview on YouTube with the author giving the back story to the book being written. For the Christian it give very good teaching on something which has crept into the evangelical church causing many false conversions and many only knowing the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour but not Lord which has lead to all sorts of problems, the worst being someone not being a truly saved Christian. One of the best books I have read and will be getting more copies to give to others.’ Peter
