WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THE
GOSPEL MAKE?
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the door to eternal life, but what difference does it make once we're
inside God's kingdom? Jerry Bridges says the gospel is the very lifeblood of our walk with God
day by day. It is the key to our salvation, for sure, but it is also the power for our daily progress in
holiness. The Gospel for Real Life will help you:
. Experience freedom from the grip of sin and know the joy of pursuing holiness
. Revel in God's acceptance of you and participate in His grace as a daily reality
. Expose the subtle acids of legalism in your life and enjoy the liberty of the cross
. Understand the crucial doctrines of the gospel and their priceless benefits to you
. Discover how to "preach the gospel to yourself daily" and so partake of its continuous
transforming power
. Carry the true fullness of the gospel to a desperately needy world around you
"Jerry Bridges brings together the deepest truths of the Christian
faith with their practical outcomes in the Christian life. The focus is
ever on Jesus Christ, our sole and sufficient Redeemer and Lord."

"This book holds the message that the evangelical church desperately
needs, the gospel. For salvation, for our day-to-day walk with God, for
our eternal life with God, we must learn to rely on the gospel. Jerry
Bridges makes a compelling case that the riches we seek are in Jesus
Christ crucified, and then tells us how to receive those riches by
faith. If you're weary in your life with God, this is the refresher
course - and the refreshment - that you need."
