Dr. Ironside brings to the floor that there is "...evil in the hearts of the best of men and the necessity of judging oneself in the light of the holiness of God. This is repentance."
As you read True Discipleship you will be horrified at your selfishness that you assumed was acceptable since “that’s the way most Christians live”. You will be humbled by the examples of devoted believers who surrendered all for the sake of the cross. You will be exhorted to follow the Lord Jesus into His death and resurrection life. And, above all, you will be drawn nearer to Christ as you begin to understand just what He meant when He said “Follow Me”.
You don’t have to read this book to be saved, but it will help you better understand your salvation. Each chapter deals with a different word associated with salvation by looking at the definitions and usage of these words in the Bible. The words dealt with in this book are: holiness, sin, reconciliation, justification, ransom, redemption, eternal life, repentance, faith, sanctification, the final judgment, and salvation. Not only do you get the liteal meaning of the word from these scholars, and I do mean scholars, (David Gooding Ph.D., MA, is a professor emeritus of Old Testament Greek at Queen’s University, Belfast, a member of the Royal Irish Academy, and is considered by many to be the foremost authority on the Septuagint. John Lennox Ph.D., MA, DSC, is a Fellow of Green College in the University of Oxford and Senior Fellow of the Whitefield Institute, and has written advanced textbooks in his field of Mathematics), but helpful, well thought-out illustrations are given that make this book invaluable for the Christian that wants to accurately and winsomely present the message of salvation.
