I'm a person who believes the gospel is a very short and simple message and although the authors of the Gospel had their own way of relating it, the message is the same from all 4 of them. Jesus brought the kingdom God to all mankind, and with faith in him, and only in and through him, we may have it. It really is that short and simple.
Well yes and no. Understanding what Jesus did on the cross requires more than just believing in Him. We have to read the Old Testament about the fall, the law, the sacrifices, the promises, the prohecies, etc...
We have to understand what the death and ressurection means in the context of the panorama of Judasim in which it was purposely and divinely placed in to truly get a grasp of what is accomplished for the believer by Jesus through His Blood, His Cross and His ressurection.
I am sure you agree, I am just pointing this out to say, yes I do agree with you in one sense, but it in another sense what you describe is just the doorway into a relationship with God that as we know more of we can better understand who we are in Christ and who we will be in Him.
