God has progressively revealed the gospel through Scripture, culminating in a clear call to fix our eyes on Jesus as the unchanging center of our faith. Jesus is not merely the giver of life, love, truth, and hope; he is life, love, truth, and hope themselves; the eternal Word who was with God and is God. Any reshaping of Jesus or the gospel away from who he truly is leads to death and darkness, while true flourishing is found only in abiding in him as he has revealed himself.
