The gospel is what the church provides to the world. It is the only thing the church can provide that is truly unique and distinguishable from all other claims. Only the gospel can bring about a “new creation” into this present age of sin and death. Only the gospel can lift the veil covering man’s sin and cause the blind to see. Only the gospel can mend the lame and broken hearted enabling them to walk in newness of life. Only the gospel can forgive the past, give victory in the present and secure the future. Only the gospel. Therefore, we must know to whom we belong, know what we believe and know who we are to become. And it is this Gospel that doesn’t just inform us, the gospel transforms us.
