What does it mean to live in the truth of the gospel? The gospel Paul speaks of is clear: justification is for all who confidently surrender to Christ. Furthermore, justification implies a life of obedience to God's will and freedom in the Spirit. This is the truth of the gospel. Not the one that enslaves us to performance to be accepted, but the one that frees us to live lives of obedience, of holiness, of measure, of freedom in Christ and his Spirit.
