Knowing the Gospel

We got specific about the gospel yesterday, as we continue to work through 1 Peter.

It is the good news, the announcement of what has been done for us in Jesus Christ. It is what the Bible proclaims, from start to finish.

The gospel is not the only truth in the Bible… but in a very real sense the Bible sets the context, the need, the anticipation, the effects, the results, and the outcome of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As well as how we are to respond to the good news.

Can you clearly state the content of the gospel?

Here’s another excellent treatment of the topic, Matt Chandler addressing Seminary students in 2010, opening up Colossians 1.

Grace in Parenting

Fun to see that one of the very best parenting books available right now is getting recognition. Elyse Fitzpatrick and her daughter have authored Give Them Grace, and it is wonderfully focused on the good news of Jesus Christ and how that good news impacts our parenting.

Andy Naselli writes a clear, helpful review with his wife in the recent Journal of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.

His post is here; the review is here.
