The gospel of Jesus Christ...is not just some pleasant message that says, "Go and do anything you like; God loves you. It will be all right at the end. Receive those blessings, and there's no more to say." God does not stop at that. "Ye that love the LORD," says the psalmist, "hate evil" (Psalm 97:10). If you want to love God, the gospel tells us, you cannot love mammon at the same time. If you want to walk along the narrow way, you cannot continue on the broad way. If you want your house to be on a rock, it cannot be on the sand.
Martin Lloyd-Jones, The Gospel in Genesis
