A Gospel Primer for Christians

August 19, 2008

     Milton Vincent is the Pastor-Teacher of Cornerstone Bible Church in Riverside, California. He has written a must-read book for every Christian. A Gospel Primer for Christians is a great aid to any follower of Christ. Vincent breaks down the book into 4 different secitons: Reasons to Rehearse the Gospel Daily, A Gospel Narrative – Prose Version, A Gospel Narrative – Poetic Version, and Surprised by the Gospel. Vincent writes in the introduction:

     “…this booklet is based on the premise that all Christians should become expert in their knowledge and  use of the gospel, not simply so they can share it faithfully with non-Christians, but also so they can speak it to themselves every day and experience its benefits. In fact, if Christians would do more preaching of the gospel to themselves, non-Christians might have less trouble comprehending its message, for they would see its truth and power exuding from believers in indisputable ways.”

     We must strive to have the Gospel as “first importance” (1 Cor. 15:3) in our lives as Christians if we are to properly live the Christian life. This book is a great contribution to you cultivating that priority day by day.
