The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
1. A New Covenant – Hebrews 8:6,13 – an upside-down value system.
2. A New Love of Grace and Truth – Ephesians 2:8-10; John 1:14,17
3. A New Life with Eternity in Sight – John 14:1-7
Taken from the book Irresistible by Andy Stanley (page 229)
“Full of grace and truth. John shared a meal with and listened to the teaching of a man described as full of grace and truth. Not the balance between grace and truth. That’s what we attempt. That’s old covenant. When we attempt to balance grace and truth, we get the worst of both, never the best of either. Jesus was not the balance of grace and truth. Jesus represented the full dose of both. He was full on grace and full on truth. He never dumbed down truth and he never turned down grace. He called sin “sin” and sinners “sinners”, and then he laid down his life to pay for their sin. He was all grace and all truth and it made a lasting impression on John.”
What is your Gospel in these challenging uncertain times that we live in now? Is it one of grace and truth? Is it the Gospel according to our Lord Jesus Christ?
