The Happy Gospel

From Benjamin Dunn’s Book “The Happy Gospel” 

See  http://www.joyrevolution.com/

When I first became a believer many people told me that God’s way is hard, that Christianity is a struggle and many stumbling blocks lie in the way.

But in fact, through devouring the scriptures and through feasting upon its realities, I have come to realize that the true stumbling block is the ease of the Gospel.  That’s right, the ease!

Though the dependent and trusting do not stumble at this rock. To them this rock bursts with living water. To those who are believers, this rock oozes pure honey.

Those who stumble at this block demand salvation by their own achievements. It trips only those who are seeking a way other than the Cross and the Christ. Most of us have been in this place or are in this place because we are simply unaware of the Gospel’s goodness. We have never been told what amazing freedom is offered to us.

My hope is that after reading this book, you will fall into the effortlessness of believing and become possessed by the joys of childlike trust.
