WHAT THE GOSPEL IS ALL ABOUT


True Gospel Is About:
  • Telling man that there’s nothing good about him
  • Letting man know his real self is wretched through and through, debauched all around, and evil continually.
  • Reminding him that his sinful nature is constantly at war with God
  • Warning man the only escape from God’s judgment and wrath to come is to run to Jesus, begging for mercy
  • Telling man that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
  • God sending his only begotten Son to take upon Himself the punishment that is due for man’s iniquities
  • Exhorting man to deny himself, nail the flesh to the cross, and die to self
  • Pointing man to Jesus Christ, the Savior of our soul

True Gospel Is Not About:
  • Motivational speech to assuage man’s self-esteem
  • Pumping up man’s ego by telling him he is a giant on the inside ready to be discovered
  • Encouraging man to take charge and take control of his life
  • Teaching man how to use God to achieve his dream.
  • Serving men platitudes to tickle their canal minds and make them feel good about themselves.
  • Putting on a show to thrill the crowd
  • Promising a blissful temporal existence. 
  • Guaranteeing absence of pain and suffering, 
  • Assuring victory over sickness and disease
  • Banishing poverty and lack
  • Educating man how to gain the world and lose his soul
