Gospel quotes

Thanks to Ligon Duncan for collecting them and to Tim Challies for linking to them*:

If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. (Augustine)

The whole gospel is contained in Christ. (John Calvin)

Whenever the gospel is preached it is as if God himself came into the midst of us. (John Calvin)

There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin. (Oswald Chambers)

A gospel that elevates man and dethrones God is not the gospel. (Will Metzger)

The world has many religions; it has but one gospel. (George Owen)

The man who does not glory in the gospel can surely know little of the plague of sin that is within him. (J.C. Ryle)

The revelation of the gospel is to a world that is already under indictment for its universal rejection of God the Father. (R.C. Sproul)

If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach. (C.H. Spurgeon)

The heart of the gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ. (C.H. Spurgeon)

When we preach Christ crucified, we have no reason to stammer, or stutter, or hesitate, or apologize; there is nothing in the gospel of which we have any cause to be ashamed. (C.H. Spurgeon)

* it doesn't count as name-dropping in a blog. Anyway I don't know any of these people - I just happened to read their websites, that's all.
