About this audiobook
At the heart of true saving faith is surrender to Christ.
Only Jesus—based on pastor John MacArthur's classic bestseller, The Gospel According to Jesus—examines the gospel as Christ himself proclaimed it—with an eye toward gaining a thorough and proper understanding of the true way of salvation by answering core questions like:
- What does it mean to be saved?
- What is saving grace?
- Why do Christians call Jesus "Lord"?
- Why does the Cross matter?
- What does it mean to be born again?
- What did Jesus teach about eternal life?
- What do "sin" and "repentance" mean?
- What is the role of the Holy Spirit in salvation?
'True salvation produces a heart that voluntarily responds to the ever-awakening reality of Christ's lordship. Because we are sinful creatures, we can never respond as obediently as we should. But if we are true believers, we will not fall back into the cold, hard-hearted, determined unbelief and rebellion of our former state." —Pastor John MacArthur
Only Jesus is perfect for:
- Christians who want a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ
- Seekers who want to know who Jesus is and what he taught.
John MacArthur will guide you in discovering how Jesus' actual words and teachings call us to salvation and new life through the power of the Holy Spirit. Drastic changes will result in our hearts and lives when we truly answer Christ's call to discipleship.
So let’s explore what Lord Jesus had to say about the gospel...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5John MacArthur has accomplished a superb work in this book. Known for his activism against "easy-believism" and superficial Christianity, MacArthur has written a marvelous little book detailing the ACTUAL gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel has become so utterly watered down today it is no wonder the church has become weakened in its effectiveness. MacArthur challenges believers to read the truth about The Truth and to become more than just a comfortable group of "pew-warmers" on Sunday mornings. MacArthur reminds us God did not call us to be His "cheerleaders." Rather, than this He has called us to be Salt and Light in a fallen, darkened world.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A masterful work of what it really means to be a Christian. There is so much confusion in the Church about whether we are saved by faith or works, and tempers can run high on this topic. MacArthur helps a great deal with a Bible-saturated explanation of the truth -- We are saved by faith, and faith does not fail to produce works. If you see no works, there is no faith.This really is MacArthur at his best, and it is a book we still so desperately need. When it was released, it caused a stir and set many people on the right theology. But it is a book that should be continually read.More than that, though, the subject should be explored in depth with the Word. We Christians can be so lazy sometime. We read Paul saying, "We are justified by faith," and we don't want to hear another word on the subject. So we learn the surface truth, but we don't even know that we don't know what "faith" really means.Let us follow Christ, and Christ will change us. If we are not changed, then who have we been following?
