Sinclair B. Ferguson Quote
When the benefits are seen as abstractable from the Benefactor the issue becomes: 1) For the preacher: How can I offer these benefits? and 2) For the hearer: How can I get these benefits into my life? But when it is seen that Christ and his benefits are inseparable and that the latter are not abstractable commodities, the primary question becomes: 1) For the preacher: How do I preach Christ himself? and 2) For the hearer: How do I get into Christ?
