Gospel revelation
Paul calls it 'the glorious gospel of Christ' also 'the gospel of the grace of God' it is the pinnacle of the Christian faith and yet our understanding of it has been so meager. We have tended to think of 'Gospel' as only what Billy Graham preached or what Black African American choirs sing. We have restricted it's application to the unbeliever in order to get them saved and then we hide it away ready for the next one. But the gospel is much more than that, it's for the unbeliever and believer so on this blog we will explore the gospel examining it from many different angles. You are welcome to comment giving further insight or even disagree however I reserve the right to delete your comments if they are offensive. So lets start exploring this glorious gospel.....

Amen bro.
Before we can change the world's concept of Christianity, we have to change the church concept of God.That He is a God of grace and love.
Much of Christianity today only know grace in terms of salvation but not the abundance of His grace or the riches of His grace.
Jesus gave the great commission to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel."
But it was the apostle Paul that had the revelation given to him by the resurrected and ascended Christ with the greater commission.
That "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself not counting man's sins against them."2 Cor 5:19
1 Jn 2:2 That Jesus is the propiation not only for our sins but that also of the whole world.
The sin issue has been dealt with,taken away and finished!
It up to us to share the Good News and for the world to believe and receive it and for the church to believe and live it out.
