Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. explores the profound relationship between the gospel and the portrayal of Christ’s beauty within the church. He delves into the theological underpinnings of this sacred message, articulating how the essence of the gospel transcends mere doctrine to become a living expression of divine beauty. Through thoughtful analysis, he examines the ways in which believers can embody Christ's love, grace, and truth, ultimately reflecting His radiant character to the world around them.

Ortlund invites readers to consider the transformative power of the gospel, not only as a message of salvation but also as a call to live out the beauty of Christ in everyday life.
