Gospel Quotes
-
How I hate this folly of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.! If the gospel be true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?
Blaise Pascal
-
And different traditions stress different - so then there's that. I talked to an African American who says before she goes into an interracial church, she sits in her car and she listens to gospel music to get her fill, and she goes into an interracial church where they don't do gospel music, and she's ready to accept the other sorts of ways of worshipping. So there's that.
Michael Emerson
-
The Lamb is, indeed, the emblem of love; but what so terrible as the wrath of the Lamb? The depth of the mercy despised is the measure of the punishment of him that despiseth. No more fearful words than those of the Saviour. The threat- enings of the law were temporal, those of the gospel are eternal. It is Christ who reveals the never-dying worm, the unquenchable fire, and He who contrasts with the eternal joys of the redeemed the everlasting woes of the lost. His loving arms would enfold the whole human race, but not while impenitent or unbelieving; the benefits of His redemption are conditional.
Edward Thomson
-
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Ezra Taft Benson

Without the Gospel everything is useless and vain.
John Calvin
-
You kept on saying: Live the little bit of the gospel you have grasped. Proclaim my life. Light fire on the earth . . . You, follow me....
Brother Roger

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
Blaise Pascal
-
To speak the gospel skillfully without attempting to perform the gospel is a false proclamation of the gospel.
William Henry Willimon
-
The ultimate end of all activity in the Church is to see a husband and his wife and their children happy at home, protected by the principles and laws of the gospel, sealed safely in the covenants of the everlasting priesthood. Husbands and wives should understand that their first calling-from which they will never be released-is to one another and then to their children.
Boyd K. Packer
-
Relevance is not a substitute for the Gospel, but an entry point for it.
Edward John Carnell
-
The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.
John Calvin
-
The world would have peace if only men of politics would follow the Gospels.
Bridget of Sweden
-
When Jesus said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21), the mandate was not for a select group of cross-cultural missionaries. It was a commission to you, to me, and to our churches. We have a sender (Jesus), a message (the gospel), and a people to whom we are sent (those in our culture). It is worth the effort to go beyond personal preferences and attractional methods to proclaim the gospel in our church services and outside the walls.
Ed Stetzer
-

Only the gospel exposes the cancer of idolatry.
Christopher J. H. Wright
-
There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.
John Calvin
-
This is the good and happy news, that Christ has paid for our sin, and through His suffering has redeemed us from eternal death. It is His kingdom and His ministry, to preach the Gospel to the poor; that is His purpose. For to the great and holy He cannot come. They do not wish to be counted sinners, and therefore do not need His Gospel.
Martin Luther
-
If signs and wonders do not follow the Gospel we preach, then we are preaching only part of the Gospel. There is more to the Gospel than salvation from sin. The full Gospel includes baptism in the Spirit, speaking in tongues and the release of signs and wonders, such as healing and deliverance.
Che Ahn
-
The singing of our sacred hymns, written by the servants of God, has a powerful effect in converting people to the principles of the Gospel, and in promoting peace and spiritual growth.
Heber J. Grant
-
John’s Gospel, together with the Book of Romans, may well be considered the enduring “twin tower".
Andreas J. Kostenberger
-
I think, that a man never passes the verge of moral humility, till self-righteousness be dethroned, till the high and towering imaginations of the man's own righteousness by the law be levelled by the mighty weapons of the gospel, and he brought to submit to the righteousness of God for justification, which is, in the gospel revealed 'from faith to faith.'
Ebenezer Erskine
-
The article of justification is fragile. Not in itself, of course, but in us. I know how quickly a person can forfeit the joy of the Gospel.
Martin Luther
