Snippet from "A Model if Christian Maturity" by DA Carson

Is it a Biblical Jesus who promises us nothing but health, prosperity, wisdom, and joy? Is it a Biblical Jesus who guarantees heaven and says nothing about hell? Is it a Biblical Jesus who promises eternal life but says nothing about entailed righteousness? Is it a Biblical Jesus who needs to have His saving work supplemented by our merits, ceremonies, and sacrifices if we are to be redeemed? If the Corinthians could be deceived in the first century into transferring their allegiance to a Jesus who did not really exist, what entitles us to think we shall always be exempt from similar dangers and deceptions? Our only safeguard is a humble return, again and again, to the apostolic Gospel, the Biblical Jesus, preserved for us in the pages of Scripture.- Quote on 2 Corinthians 11:4
