The first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide acclaim in confronting the €œeasy-believism€ that has characterized some aspects of evangelical Christianity. Over the past 50 years, a handful of books have become true classics, revered world-wide for their crystal-clear presentation of the Gospel and lauded for their contribution to the Christian faith. These extraordinary books are read, re-read, and discussed in churches, Bible study groups, and homes everywhere. John MacArthur€s The Gospel According to Jesus is one of those books. In The Gospel According to Jesus, MacArthur tackles the idea of €œeasy believism,€ challenging Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, €œWhat 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 obediently walking with Jesus as Lord. This 20th anniversary edition of MacArthur€s provocative, Scripture-based book contains one new chapterand is further revised to provide Christians in the 21st century a fresh perspective on the intrinsic relationship between faith and works, clearly revealing Why Jesus is both Savior and Lord to all who believe.
