THERE IS ONLY ONE GOSPEL
Todd Nibert
My heart breaks as I watch people compromise the Gospel. But I must say again … There is only one Gospel! The Gospel of the free and sovereign Grace of Christ my Lord. The Gospel that gives Christ all the Glory in Salvation and excludes human boasting. The Gospel that exalts the electing love of the Father, the effectual redemption of the Son, and the irresistible Grace of the Holy Spirit. This is the gospel and where this is not preached, the Gospel of Christ is not preached! Call me bigoted, narrow, or cultist, if you will, but this is the only Gospel that will save a sinner like me. I am captive to this Gospel. I really have no choice but to preach this Gospel! While many around us turn back, and while others criticize us for our stand, “I must say with Martin Luther of old, “Here I stand. I can do no other!” By God’s Grace, I am willing to die for this Gospel, and I say with the Apostle Paul, “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, TO TESTIFY THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD” (Acts 20:24).
