"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven.. (Matt. 7:21) "Whoever does not take his cross and follow me
is not worthy of me.. (Matt. 10:38)

What did Jesus mean when he said "Follow me"? In this 20th anniversary
edition of his classic work, MacArthur warns against "easy believism,"
explaining his understanding of biblical faith and works, emphasizing
the cost of discipleship, and reinforcing his conviction that there's
no eternal life without surrender to the lordship of Christ.

He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than
a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of
obediently walking with Jesus as Lord.

This 20th anniversary edition of MacArthur.s provocative, scripture-
based book contains one new chapter and is further revised to provide
Christians in the 21st century a fresh perspective on the intrinsic
relationship between faith and works, clearly revealing why Jesus is
both Savior and Lord to all who believe.

.As the Reformers were fond of saying, we are justified by faith
alone, but justifying faith is never alone. Spurgeon said, .Although
we are sure that men are not saved for the sake of their works, yet
we are equally sure that no man will be saved without them...

MacArthur challenges Christians to re-evaluate their commitment
to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, 'What does it
really mean to be saved?'
