Word of the Week - Gospel: Understanding the Power and Purpose of the Gospel
Understanding the Power and Purpose of the Gospel
In this episode, Pastor Josh delves into the meaning of the word 'gospel,' which signifies the good news in the New Testament. By referencing key biblical passages, such as 1 Corinthians 15, Romans 1:16, and 1 Peter 3:18, he explains the essence of the gospel: Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection, which offer salvation and eternal life to believers. Pastor Josh emphasizes the Christian responsibility to share this transformative message with confidence and live it daily, likening it to wearing 'gospel glasses.' He encourages followers to be fluent in the gospel, allowing it to naturally influence every aspect of their lives, thus fulfilling the Great Commission as outlined in Matthew 28. The episode reinforces that the gospel is not just a message but a life-changing force that redefines how Christians engage with the world.
