I received the original edition of this book for my birthday, along with a copy of his then latest project "Heartland" from Christian musician Rob Frazier. Both were an impact on my life,
I heard a speaker once say that if you don't sound like Christians can do anything they want and still be saved, they're not preaching grace. I disagree, and this book points in that direction.
MacArthur is associated with "Lordship Salvation" which many Christians have a problem because they think it's works salvation and sinless perfection to believe that Christ isn't your savior if He's not Lord. That is NOT what I've picked up. Rather, MacArthur pointed out there's time he's disobedient to His Lord. But I believe Biblically that there will be evidence in our lives if we're saved. Perfect obedience and sanctification? No, but definitely not an absence of obedience and sanctification.
