***What really is the Gospel?

***What really is the Gospel?
Malachi 3:6a-- “For I am Jehovah, I change not.”
Psalm 89:34-- “I will not break My covenant, nor change the thing that has gone out of My lips.”
James 1:17-- “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above
and comes down from The Father Of Lights,
with Whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.”
Hebrews 13:8-- “Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Because of those verses and the word “Gospel” means “Good News”,
then what was the “Good News”
from just after the Creation time (first what did God say to Adam and Eve) to the Israelites time,
from the time of King David until the time of the New Testament,
in the time of John the Baptist,
in the time of the ministry on Earth of Jesus Christ,
during the First Century Christian churches time,
and then how did the Roman Catholic Popes and denominational churches try to change the Salvation requirements.
Then how should be properly do the Great Commission Evangelism and Teaching?

The gospel began as a hint to Satan that God would put enmity between his seed and the seed of the woman (in time recognized as Jesus).

And that promise kept unfolding along the way. Abel had faith in it. As did Job and his friends. Then Abraham to whom God revealed much more.

And then to us in the New Covenant, with the most detail yet through Paul. But it was always the new birth bestowed by God resulting in faith in the promise (good news). And finally faith in the New Covenant gospel with Jesus revealed as the Messiah.

So, when did the Pope, or whoever, change the requirements for salvation?

What really is the Gospel?

Well what is it?
You haven't said what you think it is, unless acronyms are the gospel.

 

[straykat]

It's the good news for a broken world.

Anyone who denies it's broken and actually likes it would consider it bad news, of course.

Popes and many Protestant preachers have tried to change the requirements for Christian Salvation. ***But what is the Full Gospel that pleases God for us to share. Many of the "Sinner's prayers" are not pleasing to God because they leave out so much.

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
Plus the many benefits that come from this.

That is just a summary. If the Full Gospel was a product to sell, how would you describe its benefits to an individual or group that was interested because of your display? What would be in your display?

Are you offended with the easy believism preaching and the "sinners' prayers" prayers they promote? I am and I pray that such Christian leaders will soon be sensitive to Holy Spirit conviction and repent to sharing the Full Gospel instead. They have and are misleading so many people, even away from Bible study.

Paul gave us the outline, how we fill it in goes with how much we know.

The Gospel is the Kingdom of God. The sinners prayer is something one says that confirms the belief in the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

The Gospel regenerates the sinner, receives the Holy Spirit to lead them in all truth and conviction, is sanctified through their walk and is welcomed into the Kingdom of God where Jesus is King, on the Day of the Lord.

Reality: There are many "Sinner's Prayers" like Gospel tracts being promoted, and only a few are acceptable according to God. And what does Ephesians 4 and James indicate to you? You could learn from Muslim converts to Christianity.

1 Corinthians 3

10 According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me,

like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation,

and now another [man or woman] is building upon it.

But let each [one] be careful how one builds upon it,

11 for no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid,

which is Jesus Christ (The Messiah, The Anointed One).

12 But if anyone builds upon The Foundation, whether it be with

gold, silver, precious stones,

wood, hay, straw,

13 the work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known;

for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it,

because it will be revealed with fire,

and the fire will test and critically appraise

the character and worth of the work each person has done.

14 If the work which any person has built on this Foundation

[any product of his (or her) efforts whatever] survives [this test],

he (or she) will get his (or her) reward.

15 But if any person's work is burned up [under the test],

he (or she) will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his (or her) reward],

though he (or she) will be saved,

but only as [one who has passed] through fire.

***What is the most important fact in that passage?

How do you know that verse 12 is about true Christians?

John 10

Jesus Christ said,

14 I am The Shepherd Who cares for the sheep.

I know My sheep just as The Father knows Me.

And My sheep know Me just as I know The Father.

I give My life for these sheep.

15 Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father.

And I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep too.

They are not in this flock here.

I must lead them also.

They will listen to My voice.

In the future there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

***What are the probable priorities of the two types of Gospel believers?

How can you improve in your use of time so that you are building more on the foundation of Jesus Christ?

27 My sheep listen to My voice.

I know them, and they follow Me.

28 I give My sheep Eternal Life.

They will never die,

and no one can take them out of My hand.

29 My Father is the one Who gave them to Me,

and He is greater than all.

No one can steal My sheep out of His hand.

30 The Father and I are One.”

Of course it is much more. It has been in the making since creation and has always been since the beginning. It is also very simple.

***But what is the Full Gospel that pleases God for us to share. Many of the "Sinner's prayers" are not pleasing to God because they leave out so much.

The Gospel in a core would be that God became a man in order to die on the Cross as atonement for sinners. and that we are saved by receiving Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and that we believe that God raised Him from the dead!

 

[Tolworth John]

indicate the Full Gospel. Remember Gospel means good news.[/QUOTE
he bible only talks about the gospel, by adding 'full' to it you are indicating that other christian are not teaching the gospel properly and that only Full Gospel Christians do it correctly.

This is arrogance and pride. Nowhere is there a command to preach the whole gospel or the full or complete only a command to preach/gosip/tell the gospel and the promise that God would water the seeds we sow.

But I was hoping that people would share what they share with others about the good news of true Christianity. What do you think of this ministry?
Home about a ministry in San Francisco

I agree that the basics of true Christian Gospel are simple, but selfishness and pride prevent obedience for sanctification. And we don't need to know Greek and Hebrew and Latin. We don't have to be Bible school or/seminary graduates. And we don't have to read the Bible all of the way through and memorize 1000 Bible verses. We just need to be born again and heed to Holy Spirit and Scripture urges for the good works that are preplanned and predestined by God. Ephesians 2:8-10.
