Bible Question: I'm interested in what any of you consider the "gospel of Christ" to be. When Christ says to go into all the world to spread the "gospel", what do you think He meant by that? |
Bible Answer: When you look up the definition in a secular dictionary, you will find that the word "gospel", is given the following meanings: "..accepted as unquestionably true"; "..one of 4 books.."; "The proclamation of redemption preached by Jesus and the Apostles". I believe what Jesus preached was about His own death, burial, and resurrection to come. Even His own disciples did not understand it until he appeared to them afterwards. Try Acts 8:5,35; Acts 9:20; 2 Cor 4:4,2 Thess 2:14, and 1 Peter 4:6. How can one experience the glory of Christ, the glory of the Lord, or be alive in the spirit other than through the acceptance of the death, burial, and ressurection of Christ? |
