The Favor of Jesus Christ

God save you from the sin of paring down the gospel to suit the pride of men. God grant that you may deliver your message straight and full and plain. Only so, whatever else you may sacrifice, will you have one thing — the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ.

J. Gresham Machen, “Prophets False and True,” in God Transcendent (Edinburgh, 1982), 125.
