What is the Gospel?

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In his message, Steve Gregg explains that there is only one valid Gospel according to Scripture despite various views of what the Gospel is, and both Jesus and Paul preached the same message. The Gospel, meaning good news, refers to the message that Jesus is Lord, and his kingdom is at hand, and it includes the belief that Jesus died for sins and rose again. The purpose of the Gospel is to expand the kingdom of God and bring more people under the kingship of Jesus, and it is intended to transform individual lives and society as a whole.
