What is “The Gospel?”

April 14, 2012 by Dave Miller

Odd that the bedrock of the Christian faith has become a subject of controversy among Baptists.  “The Gospel.”

Last night, one of our commenters told another, essentially, “You don’t understand the gospel.”  That’s a pretty severe accusation.  But I have often heard a more subtle accusation, that many Christians do not understand all the implications of the gospel.

  • You also hear things like, “We need to preach the gospel to ourselves every day.”
  • I want to live a gospel-centered life.
  • We need to focus on the gospel in every area of life.

So, I thought I would open up a forum here for a simple discussion.

What is the Gospel?  

You may want to give a lengthy discourse on some of the aspects of this, but I would ask for commenters to attempt to provide a succinct, direct statement of the gospel – twitter length or so.  Expand as much as you want beyond that.

I’d love to hear a few people try to explain as best they can what it means to preach the gospel to yourself every day, to live a gospel centered life – what those common phrases really mean.

So, the comments are open.  You tell me.

What is the Gospel?
