THE GOSPEL

The Gospel, is the “chief article” of the Christian faith, it is a matter of “first importance” (1 Corinthians 15:3). It is both simple, and yet complex and rich. Understanding something of the complexity and richness of the Gospel will enable us to more fully appropriate all that God has done for us in the Gospel. We need to see that the Gospel describes both how God is recreating a fallen world, and how he is redeeming a people for himself. Hence, it answers both the question “What hope is there for the world?”, and the question “What must I do to be saved?”


‘Gospel’ means ‘good news’ and describes both God recreating a fallen world (Isaiah 52:7, c.f. Isaiah 40:9, 41:27, 61:1), and God saving a sinful people (Romans 1:16, c.f. Romans 1:1-4, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, c.f. 2 Timothy 2:8)
