Paul Washer | – The Centrality of The Gospel | Ep. 12 – Looking Unto Jesus | Paul Washer
There is simply no way to exaggerate the centrality and preeminence of the gospel. It is not the only message in Christianity, but it is first in rank, dignity, and beauty. It does not supplant the other great truths of Scripture, but it is their cornerstone and the prism through which their true wisdom is revealed and comprehended. To put it plainly, there is no Christianity, no religious devotion, and no true spirituality apart from the person and work of Jesus Christ. His gospel is the greatest revelation of God to men and angels, it is the only means by which fallen humanity might be saved, and it is the great means by which the Christian is motivated and guided to true piety or godliness. It is the preeminence of Christ and His gospel that led John Newton to write the following stanza in the hymn “What Think Ye of Christ?:
‘What think ye of Christ?’ is the test
To try both your state and your scheme; You cannot be right in the rest
Unless you think rightly of Him.”
“What think ye of Christ and His gospel?” How you and I answer this question will tell all that needs to be told about us. However we must always remember that our actions are what validate our confession. If Christ and His gospel are preeminent in our mind and heart then He will certainly be preeminent in our proclamation, He will be the preeminent standard to which we seek to be conformed, and He will be the preeminent motivation of our life. In other words, if all is taken from us but this one thing “Christ died for my sins,” we would still have our message, our goal, our motivation, and our heart’s desire!
HeartCry is a missionary society with one great and overriding passion: that God’s Name be Great among the Nations (Malachi 1:11) and that the Lamb receive the full reward for His suffering (Revelation 7:9-10).

Thank you Paul!
Your ministry and words truly do live up to the title of this series. Thank you Sir.
May we all support this ministry. I was just sent their financial statements and they are using the money to support their missionaries and not taking money for administrative costs.
Thank you so much for the beautiful message, I am so blessed , I truly am. Thank you
Why did God give us a book (Bible) that is very long and difficult to study?
It's been helpful!
Study Christ!! So profound, and to the point for the redeemed sinner. How I love my dear brother and Elder. May the Lord keep you and lead you. I appreciate your definition of piety!! Run all your days with Spirit aided endurance; hope to see you one day, some where. And if not I'll see you glory in Christ alone!!
I finally got to watch Paul Washer's sermon on Youtube after 30 years of wasted life. I truly believe that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. Amen
Anybody know what the video is called where Paul Washer tells his son that he slays dragons?
Oh Lord. Thank you for this ⚘
"And the ransomed of the Lord will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their heads.
They will find gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away."( Isaiah 35:10)
“No longer will you have the sun for light by day,
Nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have the Lord for an everlasting light,
And your God for your glory.(Isaiah 61:10)

My prayer life, my submissions to the will of CHRIST and really my spiritual eyes open for the reality that everything revolve only in JESUS.. Maraming salamat po and kindly pray us here in HongKong. Godbless you sir Paul.
