The Gospel Makes Dead People Alive

I’ve not begun to read the book yet, but as I flipped it open randomly only minutes ago this is the first line I read. It is worth sharing, and a truth so very profound.

“Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn’t make bad people good; it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God’s acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.” – Tchividjian, Tullian., Surprised by Grace: God’s Relentless Pursuit of Rebels (p.56)

I’ll be posting some more quotes and excerpts from the book later in the month and thanks to Crossway I”ll be giving away a copy too – so stay tuned!
