The Gospel | Pt. 1 - Defining the Gospel

The Gospel | Pt. 1 - Defining the Gospel - This video is the first in a series of four, aimed primarily at fellow Christians. I discuss the basics of the Gospel, the cornerstone of Christian beliefs about salvation. First, I begin by explaining an easy method for delivering the Gospel to listeners, talking about the Great Exchange that occurred at the cross. Focusing quite a lot upon the perfect standards of God, I draw out that no one has lived up to these standards but Christ, who lived a perfect life, even by God's standards since He is God. I then speak about the imputation of Christ's perfect life to the believer upon their putting a reliant faith in Him and His perfect work. This must be, and is, the only way an imperfect person can be right in the eyes of a perfect judge. I then discuss Biblical reasons why one can place such faith in Christ. Afterwards briefly touching on where repentance fits into salvation and the Gospel. In closing, I exhort the man and woman of faith to set aside any and all delusions of self-righteousness they may have. We must all forsake our failed attempts at being righteous and rely solely on the perfect work of Christ.
