Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 1 May 2023
The word “Gospel” means good news. It is good news about Jesus Christ. God in His love and mercy has revealed how man can be saved and made righteous before Him through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was anticipated in God’s blessing to Abraham (Genesis 12:3) and was foretold by the prophets (v.2). Three fundamental things about the gospel comes out clearly:
1.The preacher of the gospel as seen in the life of Paul (vs.1, 5, 9, 11-16). Take note of the three “I am” (vs.14, 15, 16). Do you have a personal sense of calling and obligation to preach the gospel?
2.The gospel itself – what it is all about (vs.2-4; cf. Mark 1:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Any gospel other than the gospel of Christ (His person and what He did on the cross) is no gospel at all.
3.What the gospel does (vs.5-8, 16-17). Through the gospel, people from all nations are called to obedience to belong to Christ.
The gospel is God’s only way and method of getting people saved and made righteous before Him. No one is saved without hearing and believing the good news about Christ.
Practice/Word Application
AND SO: Reflect on vs.14-17; cf. 1 Corinthians 9:16-17. Pray that God would give you this kind of heart and attitude for preaching the gospel.
