Gospel Fluent
Ephesians 4:13-15
Language fluency goes beyond the words you speak.
We think in our language, dream in our language, everything we do is conceptualized for us within our language.
Being gospel fluent isn't just about learning gospel words.
It's about learning to look at life, think about life, feel about life, and express about life in gospel fluency.
Language is a reflection of and expression of culture.
A gospel culture should be reflected by and expressed in a gospel language.
The gospel isn't just for people who don’t know Jesus.
We need to speak the gospel to each other, to ourselves, and to those outside the church.
Gospel-ish vs. Gospel Fluency
Gospel-ish is what happens when we know how to use some words that sound Christian, but in reality we don’t know the gospel in a way that allows it to saturate our thoughts and words clearly and consistently.
We are all unbelievers, and the root of every spiritual problem in our lives can be traced back to a lack of belief in the gospel.
Spiritual maturity is characterized by our ability to avoid believing lies, and instead speaking the truth of the gospel.
“Gospel-fluent people think, feel, and perceive everything in light of what has been accomplished in the person and work of Jesus Christ”
~ Jeff Vanderstelt
Applying the gospel to all of life
We need to learn to see through a gospel lens and apply the gospel to every area of life.

True Gospel vs False gospels
All people are interpreting life through a “gospel”—some idea of how the world is, what’s wrong with it, how to make it right, and what it should be.
Creation – my identity
Fall – my problem
Redemption – my solution
Restoration – my hope
Look not only for evidences of brokenness, but also evidences of God’s activity and grace.
How can I become gospel fluent?
Pray for Gospel Fluency
Gospel Prayer - by JD Greear
1.
There is nothing I have done that could make you love me less, and nothing I could do that would make you love me more.
2.
You are all I need for everlasting joy.
3.
As you have been to me, so I will be to others.
4. As I pray, I’ll do so according to the compassion you’ve shown at the cross and the power you demonstrated through the resurrection.

It’s impossible to become fluent in a language you never speak.
