Barcelona - Snippets from “What is theGospel?” training session. Jose Luis Montoya

2 Corinthians 3-4.
1 Corinthians 15

God
Offers
Sinful
People
Eternal
Life

If we only understand the gospel as a way of living, we are talking only about values.
If we have hope only for this life we are to be pitied. Would just be like any other ‘-ism’ – communism, atheism…just a way of life.

BUT the Gospel transcends life. Jesus is the author of our faith.

The cross explains who Jesus was and how he got there. In the work of Christ we understand our own spiritual state.

Romans 1:16-17 “I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’”
Romans 5:1 “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”

It's simple and it's great!
