Acts 13
1 Cor 15:2
When I first became a believer the Gospel presented to me by definition was really enveloped in .
There were pertinent pieces of the Gospel left out that sent me searching through Scripture and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John seeking answers to a lot of questions.
I practically wore out just the gospel books of the Bible leaving everything else virtually untouched.
The importance of the resurrection obviously jumped out huge along with the proclamation that Jesus bore my sins for me on the cross.
That’s it right?
The Gospel is that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again to sit at the right hand of God so we are reconciled through Christ to God and have eternal life.
We as a western Christian culture have adopted that as the Gospel.
We witness to people about our salvation in Christ.
We are saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus.
It becomes a personal Gospel, an individual message we use to say see what God did for me!
Wouldn’t you like God to do that for you?
We define the Gospel in a nutshell as Good Friday to Easter Sunday.
That is all great and biblically true, but I have to ask one question.
Don’t get me wrong I think everything I just said there is 100% biblical truth and is
Is the Gospel we define the same Gospel Jesus gave to the apostles?
Don’t get me wrong I think the salvation story I just presented is scriptural truth and the only way we have salvation, I just don’t believe that it is the Gospel.
It’s part of the Gospel, but not “The Gospel.”
We as a culture are leaving out some very important parts of the Gospel.
We are taking people through the process of hearing about what Jesus did for us and coming into a relationship with Him, but then we are dropping them like a hot potato and leaving them there.
Let’s look at how the Gospel is defined in scripture.
We’ll start in
Paul starts off by reminding the Corinthians of the Gospel preached to them that they believed and stood firm in.
I want you to notice something in verse 2 though.
Paul says this gospel message I preached to you “by which you are being saved.”
He isn’t saying the Gospel message I preached to you that is your salvation.
Do you see the difference?
The inference is that there is more to the Gospel than just your salvation.
Verse 3 and 4 both end with the same point “In accordance with the Scriptures.”
Paul is saying the Gospel is more than salvation and has a beginning in the scriptures, which to us would be the Old Testament.
Paul is telling the Corinthians the same thing Jesus said in:
We see the same reference to the fulfillment of the Old Testament in:
It’s not just Paul that said these things.
In Acts we can read where John the Baptist declared this same Gospel message:
The Gospel is in the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and how that fulfilled the Old Testament scriptures, but it goes even further than that right.
Paul picks this back up again in verse 20.
Paul brings the end times into the Gospel here.
He talks about how Jesus will rapture the church then deliver the faithful from Israel to God and destroying everything else including death itself.
This is the hope we carry in our message of good news.
1 Cor 15:
The Gospel makes no sense without the acknowledgment of Israel in the Old Testament culminated by Jesus fulfilling the Law.
Without the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus it has no meaning.
And without the eternal authority of God it has no worth.
What Gospel are you sharing?
