The word "gospel " means good news. Perhaps you will see
by way of comparison. God's gospel as revealed in Holy Scriptures
consist of four primary elements. They are as follows.
1. A PERSON. God's gospel points the seeker, not to a philosophy or religion, but to
a person: God's only Son , Jesus Christ the Lord. Before God became human flesh
as Jesus, His name was "Word." A word is simply a communication of a thought or
desire. Thus in the Person of Jesus ("the Word ecame flesh", John 1:14) we see
the expression of God's heart: His righteousness, purity, compassion and love
to fallen humanity.
Jesus the Messiah is exclusively the Son of God. He is the Only Savior the
Father acknowledges! (See Acts 4:10-12/ 1John 5:12)
2. A PERFORMANCE. God is righteous and also love. A coin has both heads
and tails, so a right view of God includes both virtues. Since God is righteous the
sin of His creatures must be punished for the sake of justice. "The wages of sin
is death," says Romans 6:23.
