Top Highlights
“Paul says that he declares the gospel to them. What is the gospel? ‘Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.’ That is the gospel. These are the facts. My friend, there is no gospel apart from those three facts. That is what the gospel is. Jesus Christ died for you and for me. He was buried and He rose again. That is gospel—it’s good news.” (Page 174)
