What's The Gospel?

"What's the gospel? I'll put it in a sentence.
The Gospel is the news that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over all his enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy."

John Piper puts the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is in 6 minutes in this video excerpt.



We, as believers of the one and only true faith Christianity, live on the sovereign, saving, gracious and complete gospel that the Word of God, the Bible has given to us. In the culture and age we live today, the world looks to see things in a new, more novel way. This has led to many variations in the way Christianity is followed today, and even more dangerously, altered the way the Gospel is perceived today. It is crucial, now than ever before, that we stick to this age-old singular truth with unwavering faith - the biblical, cross-centered Gospel.

Therefore, do not stray from biblical truth! Embrace the one true biblical gospel, and do not stand to be influenced by man-made doctrines or ideology. Only the cross-centered gospel saves.

Let me conclude with the words of John Piper,
"I plead with you, don’t try to be strong in your own strength; it will not be there when you need it. Only one strength will be there—the strength that God gives according to the gospel. Don’t put it off."
