Episode notes
Gospel As God's Authoritative Message
- The gospel is the possession and authoritative message of God, not merely human insight or church tradition.
- R.C. Sproul emphasizes the gospel's origination from God and its promise through the prophets in Scripture.
Essential Elements Of The Kerygma
- The apostolic kerygma affirms Christ's sonship, messianic office, and lordship as essential gospel elements.
- Omitting any of these denies or truncates the biblical gospel, Sproul warns.
Resurrection Is Central To The Gospel
- The resurrection is repeatedly included in apostolic proclamations and is non-negotiable for the biblical gospel.
- Attempts to remove supernatural elements produce a gospel that is not the New Testament message.
