What Is the Gospel – 1 Cor. 15:1-4

Sharing the gospel is something every believer who has received salvation should do – and does so willingly. The life of God that we have received within us is a life that compels us to share the gospel. The more we proclaim it, the more this life is released within us, allowing us to grow spiritually in the process.

What is the Gospel?

Good News and Glad Tidings – “ And the feet of him who bring good news…who announces salvation” (Isa. 52:7, Rom. 10:15). The gospel is the good news and joyful message that God has entrusted His servants to proclaim to humanity.

The Content of the Gospel

  1. Jesus Christ – “ …and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ” (Acts 5:42). The primary content of the gospel is Jesus Christ, the Son of God (John 20:31). He is both God and man (Rom. 1:1-4), coming to be the Savior of sinners (Matt. 1:21).
  2. Christ’s Death, Burial and Resurrection – “The gospel which I preached to you…that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:1-4). The main content of the gospel includes Christ’s death for our sins, His burial and His resurrection. These truths are the core of the gospel. Christ’s person – His being a complete God and perfect man, plus His redemptive work – His death and resurrection – constitute the essence of the gospel.
