Episode notes
Gospel as Historical Good News
- The gospel is historical good news based on completed events, not advice for future action.
- This distinguishes it from other religions that require fighting for salvation rather than joyful response to victory.
Preach Gospel Declaratively and Vividly
- Preach the gospel declaratively; its historical nature demands verbal proclamation.
- Use clear, vivid preaching to make the gospel real, not just informative or emotional storytelling.
Gospel’s Purpose: Glorious Worship
- The gospel aims for glorious worship, not just individual forgiveness.
- True heart change happens through worship, driven by love for God, not just moral effort.
