Summary: The best book ever written on saving faith
Comment: The Gospel According to Jesus is a must read for every Christian. John MacArthur, in his usual easy to read and clear way, hits the central tenet of Christianity, how does an individual inherit eternal life? Many folks, including pastors and other church leaders, believe surrendering to Jesus Christ as Lord is optional for saving faith. They claim all that is necessary is to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and if, later in your life you submit to His Lordship, so much the better. MacArthur, using the words of Christ Himself, shows there is no salvation without a willingness to follow Jesus as Lord. The message of this book is timeless, since it is supported with a plethora of scripture references. I heartily recommend the book to any Christian desiring to communicate the Gospel accurately. This book, along with a companion volume entitled Faith Works (The Gospel According to the Apostles), are indispensible tools in the Lord's work.

Summary: Read the reviews and you'll see the need for this message
Comment: Does the word "antinomian" mean anything to you? This book does a solid job of dismantling the gospel according to Zane Hodges, the author referred to by many one star reviewers. Hodges' bare-assent salvation message is rebuked, by name, in MacArthur's book "The Gospel According to Jesus" and in the subsequent volume, "Faith Works: The Gospel According to the Apostles." MacArthur exposes this culturally enslaved, man-centered heresy with great care, a false gospel that I like to simplify as the "Hate God But Swipe The Gift" error.
But the boxing ring in which this brawl is being waged is mediocre, as the debate is generally confined to dispensationalist circles. If one peers into the conservative Reformed circles, this issue doesn't really exist, because the Reformed emphasis on God-centeredness, obedience, and the perseverence of the elect guarantees that, in a nutshell, "If you LOVE me, you will keep my commandments." Check out the description of "LOVE" in First Corinthians 13, apply it to your (alleged) relationship with God, and see if you too have attempted to take a gift from a God you hate (and supposedly don't ever have to love, even through your last breath). But as MacArthur reminds his readers, "The faithful ARE faithful."
Imagine this pathetic scenario: upon hearing a sermon on loving God, or sanctification, or crucifying your flesh with its passions and desires, you reject that message in your heart (because Lord Zane said you can -- and you sure as heck will obey him), and then after the service you dart your way up to the preacher and ask: "Aww, but do we HAVE TO in order to still be saved?" Buddy, you ain't.

Summary: The Remedy to Modern Antinomianism
Comment: "The Gospel According to Jesus" is a modern-day theological masterpiece. With piercing discernment, Spirit-led exegesis, and Christian love John MacArthur exposes the error of the "cheap grace" theology that plagues the church today. His analysis of Christ's words is the much-needed cure for the common misinterpretations of Paul which have led to antinomian teaching. This book is a response to those who "distort [Paul's letters], as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction" (1 Peter 3:16). The passion and understanding of this book far outmatch any other modern theological work you will come across. MacArthur adheres to the plain sense of the scripture and refuses to allow the words of Christ, apostle and prophet to be trampled underfoot by the anti-lordship teachers. His gentleness and kindness in dealing with those he argues against is admirable (Paul, Luther or Calvin would have verbally torn them apart). This book has been used by God to awaken many to the truth of Christ's undivided person--that He is both Savior and Lord. I pray He will use it even more in the years to come.
