The Person of the Gospel - Marvin Dersen
The clearest and most concise description of what the gospel message is all about is given in 1 Corinthians 15 and verses 3 to 4, which reads, “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” It is clear from this portion of scripture that the person of the gospel (the Lord Jesus Christ) is all important. A sinless, spotless sacrifice was made on our behalf at Calvary. And God, being well-pleased with that atoning work, raised Him from the dead. We all need to look to the person of the gospel – Jesus – not to a church, a system of beliefs, or even a spiritual leader. Trust Christ alone today.
