The Gospel

"The hearing of the gospel involves the hearer in responsibility It is a great privilege to hear the gospel. You may smile and think there is nothing very great in it. [But] the damned in hell know. Oh, what would they give if they could hear the gospel now? If they could come back and entertain but the shadow of a hope that they might escape from the wrath to come? The saved in heaven estimate this privilege at a high rate, for, having obtained salvation through the preaching of this gospel, they can never cease to bless their God for calling them by his word of truth. O that you knew it! On your dying beds the listening to a gospel sermon will seem another thing than it seems now."

- Spurgeon
