What is Gospel Portions?

Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.

Ryan Bush: 00:17

See what kind of love the father has given to us, that we should be called children of God, and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1.

When we ponder the cross, we are reminded of how much Christ has done for us. There we also learn the need to separate ourselves from worldly vanities. There we see the extent of true humility. There we find assurance of our salvation, motivation for self denial, hope to cheer our troubled hearts, love to energize our obedience, a grand example to guide our footsteps, and a powerful reminder that our only reasonable service is to become living sacrifices of praise. John MacArthur.

The cross of Christ is a revelation of the love of God, for it reveals what that love is prepared to suffer for the one loved. I believe that the presentation of the death of Christ as substitution exhibits the love of the cross more richly, fully, gloriously, and glowingly than does any other presentation. It gets us nearer to the heart of that love than any of the other pictures that the New Testament contains. J.I. Packer.
