The Message that Saves is the Message that Sanctifies Christian discipleship cannot be achieved by following clever formulas or spiritual shortcuts. Believers achieve true growth by holding firmly to and continually appropriating the gospel of God's grace. While some people consider the gospel to be relevant only for conversion, the Bible teaches that the gospel is indispensable for the Christian life. The gospel must shape our discipleship.

"Mitch Chase joins a growing group of leaders on mission to help the church rediscover the truth that the gospel isn't just the power of God to save us; it's the power of God to grow us once we're saved." -- Tullian Tchividjian, Author of *Surprised by Grace**
"Getting the gospel right is an absolute imperative for Christ's church. Understanding how the gospel applies to every dimension of life is one of the ongoing challenges and joys for every believer. Mitch Chase brings great wisdom and clarity for this challenge as he writes The Gospel is for Christians. Read it for the sound counsel and good news you will find here." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminar*y
"The gospel is not just for unbelievers. The gospel is not just a kind of good news key that allows people to unlock the doors to heaven. The gospel is life. The gospel saves and it sustains. Mitch Chase loves this gospel and in this book he faithfully proclaims it. Written in an engaging, winsome way, his book will challenge and shape you. It will tell you why you need to believe the gospel to have eternal life and why you need to dwell upon this gospel, love it, feed upon it, depend upon it every day. The gospel is for Christians and so too is this book. I highly recommend it to you." *-Tim Challies, author of The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment, Sexual Detox: A Guide For Guys Who Are Sick of Porn, and* The Next Story*
"In The Gospel is for Christians, Mitch Chase demonstrates not merely a love for theology, but a love for the Savior to which all good theology points. Mitch reminds us that the good news of Jesus Christ is not a peripheral matter for the Christian. The gospel must remain at the center of our spiritual life in order to bear the fruits of ongoing repentance and faith." -Trevin Wax, author of Holy Subversion: Allegiance to Christ in an Age of Rivals and Counterfeit Gospels: Rediscovering the Good News in a World of False Hope
