Do You Know the Gospel?

August 14, 2015 · In: Study the Bible

If I asked you to explain the gospel to me, could you? Do you know the gospel?

I asked this question to the women who attend my home Bible Study class. After a few minutes of silence, the response from over half the room was, “NO.” I also asked this same question to my children and a few friends who were with us. Once again, after a few minutes of silence, they responded, “NO.”

Alarming?

There was a time, as a Christian,  I would not have been able to explain much about the gospel.  Did I know who Christ was? Yes! Did I know why I needed Him to save me? Yes!

But to go into a conversation or be able to explain it in a systematic way- I could not. You see, the cross of Christ is much broader than  “He died, and shed His blood for my soul”.

Please, I mean no disrespect at all. Because His death and shed blood are central, but that is not all there is to the cross.

I believe one of many reasons we cannot explain it is because we have not dug into the word of God in search of all the truths that it holds. For me, I relied on what my parents and teachers taught me. When all you do is listen and do not search for the truth on your own, there is a lot you will not understand

I believe Christians walk around all day without a good understanding of what God, through Christ, has done.

  • Their joy is not complete.
  • They stay confused and feel defeated…etc.
  • Why? They do not have a good grasp of the Cross.

The book of Romans gives a clear explanation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have written several studies over the course of the last few years. Romans has amazed me! I have learned more about the gospel than I could have ever imagined. God has taught and is teaching me so many things. If I had not settled into Romans I would not know the things I do now. Can I sit and explain the gospel to you?

Today I can with confidence! A confidence that I have never had before.  Why the confidence? Because He has taught me through His word!

I understand things about justification, sanctification, redemption, regeneration…etc, that I never knew. I had never even heard some of the words before! You might be asking “Why is it so important to know what justification, sanctification, redemption, and regeneration is?”

 Simple! To know the amazing gift of the Cross! 

Join a community of women who want to know the gospel better by working through the book of Romans. Learn more about the study by going to: The Good News of Grace, Truth, and Redemption.

    There are so many people that once they become Christians, they don’t realize that their learning about Christ has just begun. I love how encouraging your article is and that you have pdf downloads; that is a great idea! Thanks for sharing with #SocialButterflySunday and also sharing the Raising Samuels link. Blessings and hope to see you link up again this week 🙂

    As a Lutheran, Romans is one of my favorite books of the Bible. So much goodness in it. I work at a church and I totally see where you are coming from. We need to do a better job of teaching the stories and engaging in questions etc. I am your neighbor over at Holly’s today!
