The Importance of a Clear Gospel
I'd like to acknowledge the One who made this book possible and the original Author of the gospel of grace. He promised everlasting life to all who believe and made it very clear in His Book why Lordship Salvation cannot be true. He is none other than God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I would like to acknowledge Dr. Scudder and all the pastors and staff of the Quentin Road Bible Baptist Church. It is the teaching from this ministry that influenced almost everything I wrote in this book. The clear gospel, the reasons why Lordship Salvation and Calvinism cannot be true, and answers to common questions all came from years of learning under their teachings.

You see, because the wages of sin is death, the only way we could go to Heaven is if our sin was paid for by DEATH. That was the whole reason why Christ came to earth. He became a man so He could die. II Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he (God) hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
When Christ was on the cross, He became our sin, causing His own spiritual death. He was separated from His Father. That’s why He said, “Father, why hast thou forsaken me?” Then he died physically. Remember, our sins are on Him. When He died and shed His blood, our sin debt was paid. Three days later, He rose again, proving He was God and defeating death! Because our sins are paid for, there is nothing that separates us from Him in Heaven.
