About this listen
What is authentic faith?
The Gospel According to Jesus challenges Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, "What does it really mean to be saved?" He urges listeners to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obedience.
John MacArthur tackles the error of "easy-believism" by addressing these questions:
- Is it possible to accept Jesus as Savior while refusing him as Lord?
- Can someone truly believe without actually repenting?
- How do obedience, commitment to Christ, and turning from sin fit together with the truth that we are saved by grace through faith alone?
The Gospel According to Jesus is just as powerful today as it was more than two decades ago. It is a Scripture-based clarion call for a rejection of the watered-down message that has gained popularity in the church and a return to the gospel Jesus preached. This 20th anniversary edition adds a powerful new chapter to the complete text of the original classic, reinforcing the book's timeless message—that Jesus demands to be both Savior and Lord to all who believe. This book is compulsory listening for Christians from all walks of life and will help guide you into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Excellent detailed explanation of what it means to follow Jesus
Essential reading for anyone sincerely desiring to know the TRUE GOSPEL- What it means to become a true believer in Jesus Christ- a true Christian. Biblically based.
Jesus is Saviour AND LORD! We must submit to Him as Lord of our lives.
To be a Christian- we must; Believe, repent, turn to God, be baptised by full immersion in water immediately & continue to follow & obey Jesus. True faith WILL always produce spiritual fruit.

A great book!
The performance could have been better, otherwise a good listen. If John MacArthur had read it himself it would have made a huge difference.

Interesting but unnecessarily insulting
This book is interesting, however the whole thing builds up to a rather devious bait and switch.
In the closing remarks of the final chapter John MacArthur chooses to insult over 1.3 Billion Catholics.
He spends the entire book building two caricatures, one is the 'good Christians(Us)' and the other is the 'bad Christians (Them)'.
For a great deal of the book this 'Us and Them' mentality he fosters seems to have a logic to it, he communicates his points clearly and disguises his prejudice cleverly, he does this by maintaining a hyper focus on fringe personalities and their practices within the American Evangelical movement, it's hard not to see the reasonability of his arguments when they are framed around these cherry picked examples and I can say with confidence that the majority of Christians, both Catholic and Protestant would find themselves sharing his concerns about these fringe Evangelicals.
Right at the end, the true colours come through, John MacArthur brands the global Catholic community as 'Them'.
The whole work is nothing but an absurdly over-worded hit piece that ultimately builds up to presenting the global Catholic community and really any Christian that isn't within his niche Protestant bubble as the 'bad Christians'.
I only wish he would have made his prejudiced position clear in chapter one instead of the devious approach he chose, would have saved me 12.5 hours.
