The Gist of Romans Quotes

“The difference between one who refuses baptism, and one who in penitence and faith is baptized, lies not in the mere fact that one has not been baptized while the other has obeyed the Lord in this respect. The real difference in such persons is in their faith. One can easily believe all the facts of the gospel and still refuse baptism. But one whose faith means trust in Christ will never refuse it.”
― K.C. Moser, The Gist of Romans

“Man does not believe merely to obey, but he obeys as an embodiment of his faith.”
― K.C. Moser, The Gist of Romans

“Jesus, not dogma, is the center of the Bible. Some seem to regard a condition of salvation as the center of Christianity! But conditions are significant only because they are responses to Jesus as "Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36).”
― K.C. Moser, The Gist of Romans

“The conditions of salvation, signifying trust in Christ crucified for salvation, do not constitute an effort to achieve salvation. They are an expression of man's inability to save himself, and the embodiment of his reliance upon Christ as a "propitiation" for his sins.”
― K.C. Moser, The Gist of Romans

“When one responds to the gospel invitation he is not offering his obedience in exchange for salvation. He is accepting Christ as sinbearer, Saviour, Reeemer.”
― K.C. Moser, The Gist of Romans
