3 Ways The Gospel Is True and Central For Christians

1. The gospel of Christ is the historical truth of Jesus, who lived, died, and was resurrected, paying for our sins with his life.

2. The gospel of sonship is about God's radical, transforming, adopting grace. It's about God's accepting us because he accepts Jesus and not because of anything we've done.

3. The gospel of the kingdom is about God's kingdom coming to earth through Jesus and through the church. It's about the renewal of creation, the new-making of all things, a cosmic redemption project that has been inaugurated by Jesus.

Tim Keller quoted by Daniel Montgomery & Mike Cosper in Faithmapping
