What is the Gospel?
The Gospel is the story of God.
The first thing we must realize is that the Bible is not about you and me.
It’s about God. he is the hero, and the subject of the story of scripture, not you and I.
We tend to make it about us, but it’s not about us it’s about Him.
The gospel is the story of how God has created and revealed himself to man throughout history.
Creation
God CREATED a perfect world that in Genesis 1:31 he said was "very good".
God created a world in Harmony.
Everything worked together as it should.
Rebellion
How in Genesis 3, man sinned and REBELLED against God, bringing sin into the world and damaging the perfect world He created.
Rescue
God loved the world and sent his son to RESCUE those who would repent of their sins and trust him as Lord and Savior of their lives (John 3:16-23) .
Return
And finally it includes the fact that one day he will RETURN and restore the universe to how it was before, returning man and all of creation to perfect harmony with God.
This is the gospel.
I Am thankful for the gospel because it changed my life - Justification
When Jesus died on the cross he died to satisfy the righteous demands of the law and to make me right with God.
Purified my sins - Expiated my Debt
He took away my sin.
This means that when Jesus took away the guilt of my sins through the payment of a penalty or the offering of an atonement.
He Took Awa Propitiated God’s Wrath
He made me, an enemy of God right with God by paying my debt on the cross.
I am purified, because Jesus died in my place.
I Am Thankful for the Gospel in the because it is changing my life - Sanctification
Not only does the gospel matter in my past, and unfortunately I think Christians in error leave the gospel there, on the altar when they prayed a prayer, but the gospel matters for my present.
Paul noted that he is not ashamed of the Gospel because it is the power of God, and in it the righteousness of God is presently being revealed in men.
The gospel does not stop at the cross.
It continues in the life of the disciples and in the life of every Christian who accepts Christ.
The Westminster Shorter Catechism (question 35) answers that sanctification is:
the work of God’s free grace [2 Thess.
2:13] whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God [Eph.
4:23-24], and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness [Rom.
6:4, 6; 8:1].
Andy Naselli says that sanctification “Sets a believer apart from sin’s power and practice (John 17:17; 2 Cor.
3:18; 7:1; Phil.
1:6)”
The gospel, the truth of God’s love for us should continue to transform us until the end.
I Am thankful for the Gospel because it is the promise of God for Eternity - Glorification
The promise of the gospel is not that Jesus saved us from sin, though it is that.
It’s not that Jesus is transforming us into the likeness of Christ, though it is that too.
It’s also the promise that one day God will transform us into the likeness of Christ and we will live with him for all eternity.
We are being transformed but that transformation will be complete at the coming of the Lord.
