1 " Every page of the New Testament is in perfect agreement. From Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount to the book of Revelation, the message is consistent. It acknowledges the hopelessness of human depravity, but it points to Christ as the only remedy for that dilemma. Starting with the historical facts of His death and resurrection, it proclaims salvation by divine grace (rather than by the sinner’s own works); the full and free forgiveness of sins; the provision of justification by faith; the principle of imputed righteousness; and the eternally secure standing of the believer before God. Those truths all constitute the very heart of the gospel. "
― John F. MacArthur Jr. , The Gospel According to Paul: Embracing the Good News at the Heart of Paul's Teachings
2 " A lot of preaching today puts all the stress on the sinner’s hostility to God, and I fear it tends to give sinners the impression that all that is needed for salvation is their own free-will decision to stop being at odds with God. The idea of a sacrificial atonement that propitiates God has all but disappeared from the message Christians proclaim to the world. "
3 " Aquí encontramos una sencilla definición: la regeneración es un milagro originado por el Espíritu Santo, por medio del cual Él da vida a un alma espiritualmente muerta. Este acto en el que Dios da vida es un renacimiento espiritual completo para vida eterna, no es un milagro menor que una resurrección corporal literal de los muertos. "
4 " Las buenas obras no son la base de nuestra justificación, sino la consecuencia inevitable de nuestra regeneración. "
5 " Pero nuestro Señor no mandó a sus discípulos a proclamar un mensaje flexible que tuviera que ser revisado en cada generación; y la misión de la iglesia no es ganar la admiración del mundo. "
