The Essence of the Christian Gospelby Martyn Lloyd-Jones The cross does not only reveal sin for what it isat one and the same time it pronounces doom on the whole world and everything that belongs to that realm. The cross of Jesus Christ makes this great proclamation. Unless I believe in Him, unless I believe that His death at that hour is the only thing that reconciles me to God, I remain under the wrath of God. If I do not see that the wrath of God against my sin has been borne there by the Son of God, then the alternative is that I must experience the wrath of God. That is the essence of the Christian Gospel. I either believe that my sins have been punished in the body of the Son of God, or else they will be punished in me. It is the judgment of the world. From Saved in Eternity p. 11by Martyn Lloyd-Jones..............This really blessed me and I pray it will bless others also.Wayne
