"The goal of the gospel is to produce a type of people consumed with passion for God and love for others... A Christianity that does not have as its primary focus the deepening of passions for God is a false Christianity, no matter how zealously it seeks conversions or how forcefully it advocates righteous behaviour. Being converted to Jesus is not just about learning to obey some rules. Being converted to Jesus is about learning to so adore God that we would gladly renounce everything we have to follow Him."JD Greear, Gospel: Rediscovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary (Nashville: B and H, 2011), p.10.
