“We are confessing the gospel: That God himself has provided a Redeemer who died, the just for the unjust, to bring us to himself. Without this gospel we are cut off, without hope in this world or the next, and utterly undone. Compared with this good news, what could possibly compete? Put the gospel first?”
-D.A. Carson, Basic for Believers: An Exposition of Philippians (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1996), 31.
