3-16-25 (Trace Lee) What Is The Gospel?

MARK 1:14-15

14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

FROM THE LESSON

To be fluent in a language is when you have the ability to speak that language easily and effectively.

Faith is a response to the Gospel, faith is not a part of the core content of the Gospel. 

Jesus' most central message, according to these Gospel writers, was that the kingdom of God had drawn near.

When our need for Jesus is met with our submission to Jesus, our lives begin to reflect Jesus to those around us.
