The Gospel: God Centered, Free, Powerful, and Glorious! (Video)

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, … but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”
2 Timothy 1:8-10

The following video is the closing statement from a debate between James White and George Bryson titled “Who controls Salvation”. I am a long time listener of James White and I believe this is one of the best discourses I have ever heard him speak.

I ask that you view the following video in its entirety asking yourself this question, “Can any alternative to this teaching give greater glory and honor to God for the power and accomplishment of the Gospel in the lives of believers?” The answer is obvious. For when one maintains, “To God alone goes all the Glory and Honor in Salvation”, one must also maintain “To God alone goes all the Power in Salvation”. Enjoy.
