Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

Thanks. I assume this answers the first question. What about the other two?

On the second inquiry of who needs to hear it?

Acts 18: NASB

9And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

I really have no idea what this means. Could you elaborate?
What we are looking for to transpire without, is happening within.... And we only need to Be Still to know. The thing that needs to be done is the hardest and the easiest thing we can do...... :No-Thing

News so good, is it hard to accept........ a gift so great we are compelled to give it but. For we must do Some-Thing for it......

Both believers and unbelievers?
Yes

And once it's received?
Once received we become the lights of the world....a visible interpretation of the gospel.....

Is the answer "the city"?

This doesn't sound like the gospel to me. Doesn't it have something to do with Christ and him crucified?

I think that was a representative sample of the Lord encouraging Paul to continue to preach the Gospel to all where he was sent.

What is the gospel?
The message that God saves sinners through Jesus Christ. Salvation for sinners is by God's grace through faith in Christ.

Everyone - believers and non-believers alike.
How often does it need to be heard?
Every day. Multiple times per day!

You are correct. And yes it does. One speaking to truth of the spirit, should sound like a blasphemer to those well versed in the letters of the scripture. Something just seems off...... even Paul before his conversion, killed those speaking the truth.....for, to him, it didnt sound like the gospel..... And such is understandable.

Are you saying that truth sounds like blasphemy to those who know the Bible?

It's sad, based on the question being asked so often, in free places where denomination leaders we are afraid of will not know about our questions, that two thousand odd years after the Gospel was first preached, the foundation blocks of Christianity has still not been conclusively clarified.

As a result:

  1. What is promised isn't certain
  2. What we received isn't seen
  3. What we commit isn't made aware of

It's almost like the story of the Emperor's new clothes, except that the ones who made the clothes are themselves fooled.

The Gospel isn't directly described in Scripture. It has to be interpreted.
