Do you want to get challenged about your approach to evangelism? Do you want to see first-hand how the Lord can lead miraculously, providing not only people with whom to share the gospel, but also supplying for your needs? Here is an excerpt from this thrilling little book that's packed with jaw dropping true stories that will encourage and spur you on in your relationship with the Lord and your witness for Him.
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."
"Unless You Repent" is a thorough and completely Biblical look at this important doctrine which is all too often neglected, especially in our presentation of the gospel. If we want to give a clear gospel message, we need to grasp this truth and be able to explain to others God's conditions for salvation. "God... commands all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30b). The Lord Jesus said to Paul: "...I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me" (Acts 26:17b-18).
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.
