17. Disciple Making
“In short, Warfield’s own Christian life is marked by a fervent and adoring appreciation of Gospel truth, especially the person of Christ and his work for us and in us. And to encourage us in our Christian walk he offers the same. Warfield teaches us that we never outgrow the gospel. We will never reach such levels that we should ‘move on to better things.’ There is no better thing. And there is nothing so well suited to our growth and faithfulness than this.” – Fred G. Zaspel, Warfield on the Christian Life: Living in the Light of the Gospel, Wheaton: Crossway, 2012, p231.
