The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "Faith and the Gospel" by Gresham Machen

If what we have said so far be correct, there is now living a Saviour who is worthy of our trust, even Christ Jesus the Lord, and a deadly need of our souls for which we come to Him, namely, the curse of God’s law, the terrible guilt of sin. But these things are not all that is needed in order that we may have faith. It is also necessary that there should be contact between the Saviour and our need. Christ is a sufficient Saviour; but what has He done, and what will He do, not merely for the men who were with Him in the days of His flesh, but for us? How is it that Christ touches our lives?

Is it really necessary to preach and embrace the doctrines of His resurrection and crucifixion? Some would say that Christ's atonement is nothing more than a theory and that it is hardly necessary to insist that it is a truth necessary to believed. Is it true that the only thing necessary is that one believe in Christ?
