It is hard to believe that after two thousand years the Christian church is still discussing, even debating, “What is the gospel?” The job is perilous. At one level it's very simple: God saves sinners. But further study draws us into a world of vast complexity and mystery. Read Dr. John Frame’s introduction to the new Applied Theology Project Series, “The Good News: A Biblical and Theological Exposition of the Gospel.”

Did you know the good news of God's salvation is as wide as creation? The Bible gives us a broad understanding of the Gospel as good news about the Triune God’s historic mission of redemption for the restoration of his fallen universe and in particular his fallen human race. Read the first chapter from Drs. Frame and Childers new Applied Theology Project book, “Good News: A Biblical Exposition of Gospel.”

The Bible teaches that the gospel is not only good news about God’s mission to redeem and restore fallen creation and humanity. It’s also good news about God’s kingdom coming to earth in three amazing ways.

The Bible teaches that the gospel is not only good news about God’s kingdom coming to earth. It’s also good news about God’s King–especially: 6 events he did on earth, 2 descriptions of who he is because of what he did, and 3 promises God makes to all who will follow him in repentance and faith.

The gospel is a multi-faceted jewel that reveals multiple perspectives on the amazing grace of God for all who are in Jesus Christ. Learn 3 biblical perspectives (propitiation, justification, and adoption) on God’s amazing grace found in our new standing with God in Christ.

In Acts 2, the Apostle Peter promised two gifts to all who believe in Jesus: 1) Forgiveness and 2) Holy Spirit. Learn 3 biblical perspectives (regeneration, redemption, sanctification) on God’s amazing grace found in the person and work of God’s Holy Spirit in your life.

The goal of the gospel is not just to forgive us, but to change us into true worshippers of God and authentic lovers of people. Our new life from God includes our transformation into the image of his Son. How does God conform us to the image of his Son?
