The Gospel Truth
I have a book
titled What Is the Gospel? It is just
one among a number of books that have been published through the years trying
to explain the gospel. It’s an important question. We talk about the gospel all
the time. We have even used the term “gospel” as a synonym for the word
“truth.” (Does this mean that when we insist that what we’re saying is the
‘gospel truth’ that we are being redundant in our speech?)
The Gospel of
Jesus Christ is so much more than simply the truth. So, for the month of August
we will examine some of the more important aspects of the Gospel so that the
word gospel ceases to be so trite as a simple synonym for truth, and becomes so
much more to us than another church word that is code for something that only
church people know.
What is the
gospel? It’s the story, written by God, performed by Jesus in His sacrifice on
the cross, displayed for all of humanity, for the purpose of our salvation. If
you’ve ever wanted to explain the gospel to a friend, family member, or
neighbor, you will want to be part of this new series.
