The Gospel isn’t just a basic introduction to Jesus as the one who died for our sins and an invitation to believe in Him. It’s so much more than that! The Gospel is the presentation of everything that Christ is to us as believers, both now and throughout eternity. As we grow in a detailed knowledge of Him, we will see that He is literally everything in the Christian life.

Unfortunately, Christianity is a minefield of confusing doctrines and teachings that can make it hard to see Christ clearly and stand firm in grace. We may have started out by hearing the good news that Jesus saves, and we believed it. But then we were told that receiving Christ was one thing, and living for Him was another. We were given a laundry list of demands and requirements that turned salvation into a debt we had to pay off rather than a gift.

For many of us, this sense of being constantly weighed down under the sense of debt, fear and even depression. We were taught that merely “going to heaven” was a guaranteed outcome, but in order to truly please God, experience His peace and presence, and receive His comfort in our lives, we had to earn it! And on top of that, we had to constantly strive to avoid punishment.

But here’s the good news: God wants to bring us back to the source of everything in the Christian life – the riches of Christ as the gospel. Christ is not just our Savior, He’s also our righteousness, wisdom, sanctification, and life! And the best part is that we don’t have to do anything to earn or maintain these things – we simply need to look to Him.

This is how God’s purpose to display Christ in His church is accomplished, and it’s the essence of grace.
