    What is the gospel? Most people in the church will mention something about the death of Jesus, the forgiveness of sins, and spending eternity in heaven. In today's Seven Minute Seminary, Dr. Scot McKnight affirms that all of these are truths to be found in the Bible. However, he uses key texts to demonstrate that the gospel preached by the apostles focused primarily on the life, death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus.
    In this way, the gospel was first and foremost about telling the story of Jesus Christ. The significance is that our presentations of the gospel move toward being Jesus-centered rather than human-centered. Because of the work of Jesus, the Holy Spirit transforms people, resulting in our justification, sanctification, and ultimately, glorification.

    I think it is so important to hear what people like Scot McKnight and N. T. Wright are saying about the gospel. We really think we know what we mean by the word 'gospel', but we always need to keep reforming our understanding on the basis of scripture.
    thank you Dr. McKnight for pointing towards the biblical gospel.

      The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
      Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
      Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
      John 17
      3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

    The more you listen to and internalize what Dr. Scot McKnight has said, you will eventually realize that it was not supposed to be 'controversial' in any sense whatsoever. His explanation about the Gospel was the unadulterated and biblical one-which is what the Gospel is in the first place.
    It is all about the story of the Lord Jesus Christ to begin with. His life, death, and resurrection is the central theme of the Christian faith and all the other things are supplemental. That is not to say that those other matters are not important, we just have to realize that the whole of salvation history is Godʼs revelation of who He is as Lord and Redeemer of all.
    Jesus is the one who gets all the glory in this faith we profess and live. We are loved, yes. But that is primarily due to His glorious grace, first and foremost. If it wasnʼt for His atoning sacrifice from which that grace flows from, there wouldnʼt be even any Gospel. And in that gracious atoning sacrifice comes His vicarious death and resurrection, eternally proving that He is Lord and Savior of all creation.
    At the end of it all, the Gospel is about Him. May He forever be glorified for who He is and what He has done.
    Soli Deo gloria!

    For some reason, Scot read that great Gospel passage in 1 Corinthians 15, but he just ignored the second part of verse 3 that says: "that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures..." So the Gospel is more than telling the story of Jesus, it is telling the story of how/why Jesus died for our sins. That's according to the Apostle Paul, who "knows what he's talking about."

    So sounds to me that most Christians confuse a theory of atonement as the gospel. Gospel is who Christ is, Christ as King, and he died for our sins (not the nitty gritty as to how, why of it, to what extend?, and so on and so forth), and He has been bodily raised from the dead. And that is the gospel.

    I agree with McKnight about the Gospel being a very straightforward testimony of who the Messiah was and did, obviously focused on his death an resurrection, but like many McKnight doesn't include the second coming as central, which I think to a apocalyptic first century Jew was as Central to what a Messiah was as the death and resurrection. Why have we overlooked this? Am k missing something?

      Glad you mentioned this passage. To everyone else out there, please read it. Here Paul makes the same two core points about what the gospel is (as SM mentioned from I Timothy): First, Jesus is biologically a descendant of David. Second, that Jesus was resurrected from the dead (here in Romans 1 it is by the Holy Spirit, a foreshadowing of what Paul will return to in Romans 8:9-11). McKnight is exactly right on this topic…VERY Biblical!

He preached we are all born sinners and haters of God, we must repent turn away from sin and believe on the finished work of Christ on the cross, that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, He died for our sins and was raised in three days, He ascended into heaven and prepared a place for all who surrender to Him!

    I would say this is a very short-sighted explanation of the gospel. The Bible tells us that Isaiah preached the gospel, John the Baptist preached the gospel, and Jesus preached the gospel before His death, burial, and resurrection.
    So we know there is definitely more components to the gospel. I usually oversimplify it by saying the components of the Good News are
    1. Resurrection of the dead
    2. Deliverance from sin (New Heaven/New Earth)
    3. Removal of the wicked and rewards for the righteous (Eternal Judgment)
    4. Kingdom of God established on the earth
    And that the death, burial, & resurrection of Jesus is the central cornerstone of these components and stamps a realized hope on these future events to take place on the Day of the Lord.
    The people in Corinth would have already understood these components because Paul preached in Jewish synagogues. Jesus is the New News but the original components of the gospel from the Old Testament/Tanakh remain the same.

The Gospel of Power has entered our denomination, with the influence of Bethel Church and Bill Johnson, and is taught from some pulpits by some pastors and evangelists. Quote from Nazarene evangelist 08.08.2019 is a good example: "So the real gospel is the miracle power, the dutumas, and the salvation, healing, deliverance, not just being good enough to go to heaven, but be empowered enough to bring heaven to earth."

    After the outpuring of the Holy Spirit, the gospel was preached by the apostle Peter. What is it? Acts 2:22-40 records it. Stephen preached the same gospel in Acts 7:2-4 before the ears of Saul of Tarsus (who is also called Paul). Paul received this gospel and together with Barnabas preached the same gospel after the Holy Spirit set them apart and were sent for the ministry. Kindly read Acts 13:16-41 and see what gospel they preached.

    What’s so odd about this is....in his very first biblical example he quotes 1 Corinthians 15 and rightly notes THIS IS THE CENTRAL thing. Then he reads it and it says-literally: “that Christ died for our sins...”. But, having set it up by downplaying the atoning part of the gospel he hydroplanes over the fact that “he died for our sins” is the central defining statement of the very thing he just read. I agree that the gospel is the telling of the story of Jesus but Paul and others very directly say (MCKnight read it!) he died FOR OUR SINS is central to the story of Jesus. McKnight’s approach here is just strange imo

      @@ApostolicChristianity It's hard to envision how the sermons in Acts can be used to make the point. The culminating point of Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost was the crucifixion and resurrection. Except for the brief words we have recorded to the people at Lystra, it seems patently obvious that the life, death and (especially) the resurrection of Jesus was the early church's central theme (which Paul confirms in 1 Cor. 15). That doesn't take away from it being about who Jesus IS. The resurrection was presented as the authenticating of the claim. They didn't separate the concepts. Luke even calls that summarizes Paul's "custom' in Acts 17 -- saying he normally went to the synagogues and provided evidence that the Christ had "to suffer and rise from the dead". I think McKnight is in error when he comes across as taking away our attention from these central actions of Jesus.

      Chip Lutyk I’d say in what I heard from him, he’s not putting things in their proper place. It sounds like a trade when I listen to him. Sure, who Jesus IS is the ultimate goal, but I see no evidence in the NT that who he is and what he did are seperate. They are joined. That’s why (in my view) the emphasis on the resurrection in Acts. His Lordship is confirmed by His resurrection. In short, I’m suspicious of anyone who seems to downplay that importance. Frankly, I think the modern church doesn’t emphasize it enough (compared to the early church). Maybe that colors my view of McKnight. But, ironically, studying and teaching on Acts (along with 1 Corinthians 15) is what did it to me.

    I'll start by saying that we are bought by the sacrifice and blood of Christ. Then I'll say read John 3:16 and following verses. It says GOD so loved the world..... Then in Acts 2:23 and 1 Peter 1:17 - 21 we see again that it was through GOD'S predetermined purpose and foreknowledge from before the foundation of the world that Christ would come. In Genesis 3:14-15 it says GOD laid out his plan to redeem mankind in Christ. In Genesis 22:18 we see GOD promising that all nations would be blessed through the seed of Abraham. Which is Christ. Throughout the rest of the Old Testament we see GOD's plan to save mankind. And in the New Testament we see the fullfillment of that plan in Christ. There are a multitude of other scriptures to point to. But through it all we see the Gospel is defined and shown to be God's love and plan to redeem man. Think of it this way, the Gospel is the story that GOD the father wrote with Christ as the main character. But this Gospel story was written and directed by GOD the father for man. The Gospel is God's love for man and his plan from before the begining to redeem man.

    Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of "eternal life" to all who trust Him alone for salvation.
    That is everlasting life, not to be confused with temporary or probationary life dependant upon your performance.
    This means that saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ "alone" for salvation.
    How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance?
    You absolutely can't.

    2:35 You've just admitted that this statement of Paul's is NOT equal to the Gospel. It is a SUMMARY of the Gospel. There is much more to the Gospel and he even says that he taught them before and this is now a SUMMARY, not a complete statement of what it is, for it is much larger than these few summary statements. 3:06 and you just contradicted what you read, for you left off the witnesses in your own summary of what you read (though you read some of the witnesses), which Paul includes in the mere Summary, let alone the full teachings he gave them. Without the witnesses you do not have the Gospel. 3:40 in 2 Timothy you give an even more terse SUMMARY. Paul is drawing attention to 2 points from his WHOLE GOSPEL, for it says "You must be remembering Jesus Christ, having woken himself up from out of the dead ones, from out of the seed of David, in synchronicity with my gospel." He intentionally constructs the two the same in repetition: from out of the dead ones, from out of the seed of David, to indicate that the Jews were dead in their sleep, while also indicating that Jesus Christ came from David as a direct descendant. This is not a statement of WHAT the Gospel is. It is one aspect among Paul's teachings of the WHOLE GOSPEL. It absolutely does not say in the Greek that "this is my gospel." It is the preposition "kata", according to or in synchronicity with... my gospel. There is no equation here in the Greek at all, but an identification as one among many other elements that are not mentioned. In addition there is another problem...
    There is indication that the Gospel was this: "The time is filled up in what was lacking! And the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel!" For this is what Mark 1.14-15 says Jesus came preaching and it is called "the Gospel of the Kingdom of God." So the Gospel must include this as the capstone. It is troubling that Paul's summary in 1 Corinthians 15 does not, when you think of it. However, that proves that Paul's summary is a selective one, not even an accurate or complete summary, but a slice of it that was brought back to memory to the Corinthians in order for Paul to go on with his teaching on resurrection. It is important to keep these passages in context in order to understand their function and why they are not a formula to be taken out of context.

    This is such an oversimplification of the facts. One of the first times the New Testament mentions "the gospel" is records that Jesus went about preaching the gospel of the kingdom. Law of First Mentions requires that the first mention of something sets the tone and basis for everything else mentioned in following. So where is "of the kingdom" in his basic essence explanation? McKnight also say that Jesus will come to reign... My bible says He currently reigns and that the kingdom of God is now, not just eventually. So again, McKnight sells the gospel of Jesus Christ short in a different way than typical Evangelicals.

    Ironic, this channel that promotes the heresy that a born again can "lose" salvation. Might want to try actually believing the gospel before preaching it.

      No, only heresy is heresy. The time will come where they will not endure sound doctrine. Guess this is that time.

      The biblical teaching of apostasy is demonstrably seen in the teachings of Jesus, Paul, and elsewhere in the NT. Those who depart from the faith and are cut off from the tree of life are those who once believed but later turned to unbelief.
      Regardless of this doctrines truth, however, is the fact that this is hardly a doctrine worthy of calling another brother or sister a heretic. One can without question believe Jesus as Lord and that he rose from the dead and be wrong in this theology. To throw around the word heretic flippantly is dangerous to say the least.

      Anything that teaches a born again believer can "lose" salvation IS heresy. I would argue anyone that goes into unbelief was never born again to begin with.

      Well then I guess I, and many other individuals who believe Jesus is Lord and Savior, are heretics, according to your standards, as we would believe a person can depart from the faith. I think the biblical data is clear on the issue. But you are more than welcome to call whomever you wish a heretic.
      Peace, brother
