만약 당신이 예수를 바라보기도 전에 ‘내가 선택된 사람인지 알고 싶습니다’라고 말한다면, 그것은 잘못된 요구이다. 그렇게 해서는 절대로 알지 못하며 먼저 예수를 바라볼 때에만 발견할 수 있다. 오직 예수를 바라보고, 그를 믿는다면 자신이 선택되었는지 알게 될 것이다.
『오직 예수를 믿으라』는 먼저 회심하지 않은 사람들이 기대하는 '그리스도를 믿어야 하는 이유'에 주목하고, 진정 그리스도를 믿는 믿음의 참된 이유와 까닭을 알아보는 과정을 통해서 그리스도를 믿는 믿음의 요지가 과연 무엇인지를 발견할 수 있도록 한다.
C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
