Bible Question:
Is there a book in the New Test. that would best fit what would have been preached as "The Gospel of Christ" by the Apostles? Not including what we call the 4 Gospels. Mt, Mk, Lk, Jn Vintage68 |
Bible Answer: In the Acts the Gospel is Preached. In the epistle to the Romans the Gospel is Explained. In Galatians the Gospel is defended. The epistle to the Romans is a watertight argument concerning the "righteousness of God" as revealed in the "Gospel of God...concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom 1v1-3). Very broadly speaking the subjects dealt with in Romans are as follows: Ch1-3 reveals Condemnation Ch4-5 reveals Justification Ch6-8 reveals Sanctification and Glorification Ch9-11 reveals Election Ch12-16 reveals Consecration. For a proper understanding of the Gospel doctrinally, a study of Pauls letter to the Romans is essential. Regards, David |
