Book Description
What are the basic principles of the Gospel that cannot be taken from Christ’s Gospel and make the Gospel not the Gospel? That is a very important question to answer, for, on a very basic level, what people believe in will determine where they will spend eternity. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is bound up in eternal realities that cannot be undone after death if people “get the Gospel wrong.” Do you believe the Gospel? This work sets down and summarizes the sum and substance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What is the sum and substance of the Gospel? How would you summarize it? Is it simply John 3:16? Is it what the penitent thief said to Jesus on the cross? What is the Scriptural data that shows forth enough of the “Gospel of Jesus Christ” to make it truly Christ’s Gospel? McMahon answers this question by drawing mainly from the book of Isaiah. The Gospel in its sum and substance, or the way God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, actually contains a great amount of information (the Bible is a very big book). However, in distilling the Gospel down to its essentials, he covers the five principles of the Gospel: Principle 1: God exists. Principle 2: that God is man’s Maker and has made humankind in his image. Principle 3: the bad news that all men have sinned in Adam and are under the curse of God. Principle 4: God has not left all sinners to perish under Adam’s curse, but has given sinners the righteousness of Jesus Christ as a garment to cover them. Principle 5: God calls and draws thirsty sinners to himself through Jesus Christ freely. His five main texts from Isaiah are 40:9, 54:5, 24:5-6, 61:10 and 55:1-3.

The Five Pillars of Discipleship
Author: Chima E Umejiaku
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 9781973687047
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Christian discipleship is a fundamental biblical trust demonstrated in the ministry of Jesus Christ and within the early church. Knowing the importance of discipleship, Jesus walked closely with his disciples to influence their lives so they could, in turn, influence the world-an impact felt around the world for many generations. Christendom today puts less emphasis on the importance of Christian discipleship, and the result is a generation of believers who are not deeply rooted in the basic principles of Christianity. Proper Christian discipleship can not only equip believers with tools for effective ministry but also establish in them the basic biblical truths that they can pass on to future generations. The Five Pillars of Discipleship stresses the importance of five basic principles in Christian growth: Word of God, prayer, evangelism, fellowship, and praise and worship. Christians who constantly practice these things will be spiritually strong and also sound in Christian doctrines. Uplifting and encouraging, this guide calls on pastors and ministers of the gospel to return to the fundamental truth of biblical discipleship for the benefit of all believers and their ministry.

The Gospel at Work
Author: Sebastian Traeger
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310513987
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Find God’s vision for your job. Reclaim God’s vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.
