Practical Apologetics: Clear Answers for the Everyday Christian

Episode 12: What Is the Gospel?


Listen Later

What is the gospel?

It’s a word that gets used often, but rarely defined clearly. Is it a lifestyle? A set of teachings? Or something more?

In this episode, we break down the gospel in simple, biblical terms. The gospel is not advice about what you should do. It is the good news of what God has already done through Jesus Christ.

We walk through:

  • The true meaning of the word “gospel”
  • The core message found in 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
  • Why the gospel is necessary
  • How the gospel saves
  • And how you can respond to it today

This episode also includes a direct invitation to respond to the gospel and a simple explanation of repentance and faith.
