What is the gospel?
Romans 1:1-17
The Gospel of God:
- was promised in the holy Scriptures (v. 2)
- concerns Jesus (v. 3)
- is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (v. 16)
- is a revelation of the righteousness of God (v. 17)
1. The gospel is a realisation of what was promised.
2. The resurrection was proof of the authenticity of Jesus. (Compare Matthew 27:62-66)
3. Our persuasiveness does not save, rather we are called to declare the gospel (not defend it) for it has the power.
4. Compare Habakkuk 2:4.

Ha - see, you'll have to start blogging again now since you've just given all of us on the OYBB site the link :)). Love the Blog name tho - very apt and no doubt will intrigue many - you should perhaps put up a post explaining it for those who wouldn't know scripture, and in particular prophetic scripture, since I'm presuming its Isaiah 58?
