The gospel deals with more than the judicial, our standing before God, for it is the power of God that brings salvation (Rom. 1:18)--a comprehensive transformation. Everything is secured by Jesus' death and resurrection; everything is empowered by the Spirit, whom he bequeaths; everything unfolds as God himself has ordained this great salvation.
--D.A. Carson and Timothy Keller, "Gospel-Centered Ministry," in The Gospel as Center: Renewing Our Faith and Reforming Our Ministry Practices (edited by D.A. Carson and Timothy Keller; Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2012), 21.
