What exactly is the Gospel of God?
This quote from glorydaz prompts this question. She claims:
"I would point out that the Gospel is a matter of believing in our HEARTS...not believing with our mouths or even our heads."
And I am led to ask, is the Gospel a matter of what we believe? Or is the Gospel the truth of what God has promised and done.
IOW's, is the Gospel message about us, or about God?
I say the latter.
The Gospel is not what sinners might believe, but it is the scriptural message of what God has provided to save His children. The sacrifice of His Son.
Thus, the Gospel has nothing to do with us, but all to do with God and His works of grace.
That is the premise of only one Gospel, versus many gospels.
The entire history of mankind, centers around what God has done since the fall of Adam to atone and deliver and redeem His fallen creatures under many circumstances. Their salvation is in His hands alone; ultimately demonstrated and achieved in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ alone.
That is the Gospel message. It is all about and only about what God has done.
(The gospel is not about human compliance, obedience, religious beliefs, church dogma, charitable works, etc. or whether "the Gospel is a matter of believing in our HEARTS...not believing with our mouths or even our heads.")
