The Object of the Gospel

The one eternal object of the gospel, consummated in Christ, is to bring men back from their wanderings in folly, selfishness and sin, to God our Father; to unite our hearts and wills in living communion with him, and to incite us, through the impulse of a strong and transforming affection, to work freely, trustfully, rejoicingly in and with and for him alone. This is the true gospel of Christ. ''The same yesterday, to-day and forever." (Anon)
