On the gospel:

“Very small errors in a person’s understanding of the gospel seem to result in very big problems in that person’s life.”

CJ Mahaney, quoting a friend in Living the Cross-Centered Life, 68.

“Salvation is more than forgiveness. It is deliverance from the death, slavery, and wrath described in Ephesians 2:1-3. Indeed, it includes the totality of our new life in Christ, together with whom we have been made alive, exalted and seated in the heavenly realm. ‘Grace’ is God’s free and undeserved mercy towards us, and ‘faith’ is the humble trust with which we receive it for ourselves.” John Stott, Ephesians, 83.
