I have just finished reading John MacArthur jr's book, The Gospel According to Jesus. Today it seems that Christians would rather be socially acceptable rather than a counter culture so the message to the world is one of easy believism. How can Jesus be our Saviour if He is not our Lord? Salvation without counting the cost is not salvation at all. The Gospel message isn't something that will make us feel good about ourselves while we continue to live as we always have lived. The Gospel calls us to something radically different, to be counter culture, to leave the past and to become a new creation in Christ Jesus. You cannot have Jesus as an add on or as a fire insurance.
