After the last post one of my dear friends was concerned I was being a relativist by offering this series. You can read his response here. I thought it was a good criticism and although this post is indeed a continuation of the subject I want to make it clear that I am in no way teaching any of these perspectives as right or wrong. I want everyone to talk about what the Gospel is. As A christian I find that the Gospel is the center of my life, and living the Gospel is at the heart of all I strive to do.
My only issue is there isn’t a clear definition in the Scripture of what that life looks like.
There have been various theories of what atonement looks like throughout history, and I don’t know if any of them capture the Mystery of God’s Salvation completely.
By offering these perspectives I hope to challenge each reader to reflect of their own understanding of the Gospel and respond by giving more of their life to Jesus.
I really appreciate the reply so much, and the definition given I think is an incredibly important explanation of “Gospel Truth.” What I want to focus on now is what is “Gospel Life.”
In Revelation 14 (which was quoted in the response) the Judgment is not one of knowledge but obedience, we see the same thing in Matthew 25 (link).
So often Jesus seems to be asking how we loved, much more then what we know.
Here is a perspective I hope my dear brother finds more peace about… Although some of you might not be at peace with it… I’d like to hear what everyone thinks.
