Theologian Sinclair Ferguson explores what it means to live worthy of the gospel by imitating Christ, and why it matters for believers.
âGod delights to turn things upside down. Most think a âworthyâ person must be someone great. Sinclair Ferguson shows that the people âworthy of the gospelâ are those humbled by their sins, transformed by Christâs cross, and obsessed with knowing the Lord. Nothing less is fitting for the gospel. Highly recommended!ââJoel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological SeminaryâLike conjoined twins, legalism and antinomianism share the same heart. Curved in on itself, it recoils at being justified by an alien righteousness and being sanctified by conformity to someone elseâs identity. Sinclair Fergusonâs long ministry of proclaiming Godâs word has always struck at both forms of heart disease. Laced with pastoral warmth, striking illustrations, and dry Scottish humor, Worthy sets the table richly for a feast that will nourish the hearts of believers and invite strangers to pull up a chair.ââMichael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary CaliforniaâFor years, Sinclair Ferguson has helped me toward having an experiential grasp of my union with Christ. His sermons and books have been friends along the way, leading toward spiritual maturity and a life with God. Because Worthy is a short book, I assumed it would be a summary of ideas Iâve read or heard from Ferguson elsewhere. Instead, each chapter felt full of fresh insights and pastoral wisdom. As I was finishing this book, I kept telling others how excited I am for my congregants and even my teenage children to read it.ââJohn Starke, Lead Pastor, Apostles Church, New York City; author, The Possibility of PrayerâThis little book wonderfully draws much-needed attention to one of the more overlooked and ignored characteristics of the Christian life, one that we desperately need to recover in the church today.ââBurk Parsons, Senior Pastor, Saint Andrewâs Chapel, Sanford, Florida; Editor, Tabletalk
