Outline of the Gospel
It is very common in Christian circles to assume that “the Gospel” is something mainly for non-Christians. We see it as a set of basic “ABC” doctrines that are the way in which someone enters the Kingdom of God. We often assume that once we are converted, we don’t need to hear or study the gospel – we need more “advanced” material. But in this short letter to the churches in Galatia, the Apostle Paul outlines the bombshell truth that the gospel is the A to Z of the Christian life. It is not only the way to enter the Kingdom, it is the way to live as part of the Kingdom. It is the way Christ transforms people, churches, and communities.
"I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ."
-Galatians 1:6-7 (NLT)-
