How would you describe the gospel?

Here are a few answers from the pen of F.E. Marsh…

  1. Divine Gospel. “Separated unto the Gospel of God” (Romans 1:1).
  2. Gracious Gospel. ”To testify the Gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24).
  3. Wondrous Gospel. ”The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1).
  4. Life-giving Gospel. ”In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel” (1 Cor. 4:15).
  5. Saving Gospel. ”The Gospel of your salvation” (Eph. 1:13).
  6. Peace-securing Gospel. ”Your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace” (Eph. 6:15).
  7. Full Gospel. ”I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ” (Rom. 15:29).
  8. Powerful Gospel. ”I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16).
  9. Practical Gospel. ”Only let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ” (Phil. 1:27).
  10. Glorious Gospel. ”Lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ” (2 Cor.  4:4).
  11. Everlasting Gospel. ”Having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them” (Rev. 14:6).
