Title: Only this Message can give Assurance

ï   ----- Original Message ----- From: Hughes Jonathan To: Lance Muir Sent: April 10, 2005 15:07 Subject: Only this Message can give Assurance âPreaching predestination, or creation, or the new birth, or the baptism of the Spirit is not preaching the gospel. All these things are related to the gospel and are necessary for the working of the gospel, but they are not the essential message to be believed for salvation. Furthermore, unlike the gospel message, they do not directly address the matter of our justification and assurance of salvation. Only the message that another true and obedient human being has come on our behalf, that he has lived for us the kind of life we should live but canât, that he has paid fully the penalty we deserve for the life we do live but shouldnâtâonly this message can give assurance that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christâ (Graeme Goldsworthy, Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture, pp. 83-84).
