We may get the Gospel right only to again find our mingling (or replacing) it with the Law, due to our missing the *continuity of fulfillment* between the two covenants in Christ. - Matthew Morizio
"To behold Christ and to make others behold him is the substance of his [Paul's] ministry. All the distinctive elements of Paul's preaching relate to Christ, and bear upon their face his image and superscription. ...The entire Christian life, root and stem and branch and blossom, is one continuous fellowship with Christ.”
“I am increasingly convinced that so much in the state of the Christian church today is to be explained chiefly by the fact that for nearly a hundred years the church has been preaching morality and ethics, and not the Christian faith. It is this preaching of the ‘good life’, or being ‘a good little gentleman’, and of viewing religion as ‘morality touched by emotion’." - Martyn-Lloyd Jones
“Our faith is a person; the gospel that we have to preach is a person; and go wherever we may, we have something solid and tangible to preach, for our gospel is a person. If you had asked the twelve Apostles in their day, ‘What do you believe in?’ they would not have stopped to go round about with a long sermon, but they would have pointed to their Master and they would have said, ‘We believe him.’ ‘But what are your doctrines?’ ‘There they stand incarnate.’ ‘But what is your practice?’ ‘There stands our practice. He is our example.’ ‘What then do you believe?’ Hear the glorious answer of the Apostle Paul, ‘We preach Christ crucified.’ Our creed, our body of divinity, our whole theology is summed up in the person of Christ Jesus.” - C. H. Spurgeon
