Your Relationship with God

The Gospel According to Jesus

by John F. MacArthur

The first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide aclain in confronting "easy-believism" that has characterised some quarters in evangelical Christianity. This expanded edition deepens the debate over "lordship salvation" and the Biblical understanding of faith and works in adding three new chapters and an appendix. The new chapters: The Vine and the Branches, The Promise of Justification, and Tetelesai! The Triumph is Complete.

The appendix contains answers to the most often asked questions on the subject of what Jesus really meant when He said, "Follow Me".

Our Review


In this book, John MacArthur attempts to take on the concept that people can make allegedly sincere professions of faith in Christ and then be considered a Christian even if their life bears no good fruit after their supposed conversion.

He begins his argument by showing that good works are not a precondition of salvation, thereby affirming the historic Protestant position of salvation by faith alone, through grace, in Jesus Christ.

Having affirmed this position, MacArthur goes into fabulous Biblical detail concerning the fruits by which genuine salvation can be measured.

Throughout the book MacArthur shows how easy believism has permeated the modern church. He points out that it is highly dubious to offer salvation that basically states that as long as we make some kind of supposedly sincere affirmation of Jesus, we can then claim we are saved while continuing to live an unsaved life.

Even though this book first appeared on the shelves in 1988, it is still extremely relevant today. It is well documented Biblically, and if it were up to me, this book would be required reading for every pastor.
