    Very good teaching on just "What is The Gospel". A number of years ago the producers of the "White Horse Inn" radio program went to the NRB and Christian Publisher Conference in Washington, D.C. They asked those who both decided what was published and what was put on both so-called Christian radio and TV, "What is the Gospel". You never heard such humanist junk. There were replies such as, "it is that which makes me feel good about myself" and other such responses. R.C. Sproul was on the WHI radio program a few weeks after they aired these replies and he stated he had to pull over because he was crying so hard. The church needs to have a basic understanding of just what is the Gospel from the bible.

    I enjoyed listening to him and his exposition of what is the gospel.The church to day and this age need this spiritual nourishment more than ever.

    It says in Luke 9:6 that the apostles were sent out preaching the gospel. But they did not then understand about Jesus' death and resurrection etc. So my question is, what did 'the gospel' mean in this context? Something about the Kingdom of God being at hand, I would guess; but what were they preaching, exactly?

    Around 18:00, Carson says that Peter says "repent and believe" in Acts 2:38. This is Peter's response to the listeners of Peter's Pentecost sermon, at the inauguration of the church. Yet Peter doesn't say, "repent and believe." He says, "Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

    The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

    Did he ever say what the Gospel is? If he did, I missed it during the hour long teaching. 🤔
  • @Vulcancruiser
    It doesn't take an hour to give the gospel out when Jesus saves us the trouble by giving the one and only TRUE GOSPEL to Paul in 1COR 15:1-4........hitting all around it doesn't count......it must be used exactly as given or we fall under the curse in Galations 1........so beautifully simple and concise you know its the real one .......only a few know the one and only...........
  • @jordantupouila3363
    Thank very much for the teaching but something not notified on this teaching , that the main reason of the gospel. So, what is that ? , how you receive the salvation of God after you persuade by the goodness of God, it seems to me there are most preacher and teachers of today got to present to their congregation, the history alone, not the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, may I make a short conclusion to, Christ die, we repent, Christ was buried, we buried with him in baptism, Christ rose from the dead after three days, as the Spirit that’s raised Christ dwell in you, there is hope for eternal life, amen ( act 2:38) God bless.

    ASK THE PERSON WHAT HE BELIEVES!! No matter what he does!!If you want to know if one is a Christian? Don't snoop in his life, but ask him outright about who Jesus is TO HIM. TARES AND WHEAT/ What if you asked David in admidst his sin. ??
  • @mrnoedahl
    WOW Calvinist really know how to complicate the simple beautiful truth of the gospel.

    Psa. 51, "Besides, against you I have sinned...." The other trans. is class A balderdash. In judgment there is no respect of persons, high or low.
  • @safariad
    The statement, all sin is sin against God, is a statement without value. That is because there is wrong doing that is not sinful. Wrongdoing against Don is bad, violation of US law is not wise, Wrongdoing against God, or violation of His law, is sin. (Third word about 15 minutes in)
  • @IanTanLK
    Every man forgiven. That’s the gospel.
