The gospel is good news because it brings a person into the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of Jesus Christ. He is not merely the rope that pulls us from the threatening waves; he is the solid beach under our feet, and the air in our lungs, and the beat of our heart, and the warm sun on our skin, and the song in our ears, and the arms of our beloved.
Sep 12, 2007 · That’s the gospel. You Can’t Outgrow the Gospel. You never, never, never outgrow your need for the gospel. Don’t ever think of the gospel as, “That’s the way you get saved, and then you get strong by leaving it and doing something else.” No! We are strengthened by God through the gospel every day, till the day we drop.
Aug 7, 2013 · Mere truth won’t do it. Our souls desperately need the gospel. “The grace of God in truth” (Colossians 1:6) is the shock that brings a dead soul to life, and the charge that keeps it living. The gospel is the gas that awakens and energizes the human heart, not mere truth — essential as truth is. Two plus two equals four — that’s true.
Aug 13, 2024 · Far better news the gospel brings: It bids us fly and gives us wings. If you know and love the Lord Jesus, the gospel — Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection — gives you wings. Satan wants you to think you’re still earthbound. Jesus, however, reminds you: it’s time to fly! New Identity. The gospel also tells us that we’ve been ...
Mar 19, 2012 · Here’s a summary of the gospel to help you understand it and enjoy it and share it! 1) God created us for his glory. “Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory” (Isaiah 43:6–7).
Jun 5, 2002 · The gospel is not just a sequence of steps (say, the "Four Laws" of Campus Crusade or the "Six Biblical Truths" of Quest for Joy). Those are essential. But what makes the gospel "good news" is that it connects a person with the "unsearchable riches of Christ." There is nothing in itself that makes "forgiveness of sins" good news.
Sep 30, 2006 · It is intriguing that Lloyd-Jones said this some time before Lesslie Newbigin began to propound the thesis that Western society was a mission field again (See Lesslie Newbigin, Foolishness to the Greeks [Eerdmans, 1986] and The Gospel in a Pluralistic Society [ Eerdmans, 1989]). Indeed it was perhaps the most challenging mission field yet, because no one had ever had to evangelize on a large scale a society that used to be Christian.
Jun 21, 1998 · The gospel is the good news that God gave us his Son, so as to obtain for us everything that would be good for us. Therefore, the gospel is the power that gives us victory over temptation to despair and to pride and to greed and to lust. The gospel alone can triumph over every obstacle and bring us to eternal joy.
This book is a plea that God himself, as revealed most clearly and fully in Jesus’s death and resurrection, be seen and enjoyed as the final and greatest gift of the gospel.

Nov 22, 2014 · The verse is Acts 20:24, “I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” The ministry Paul had been given by the risen Christ was to “testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
