I dont know what your on about. Everyone in Europe and America ? Most people do not know the gospel.

So what is the gospel? Anytime Christ speaks of it, Christ speaks of repentance. Is that how we speak of the gospel?
Its his word sister his teachings that’s why God sent him to give us jidgement . your right he’s about
repentance but also
remission of sins he also teaches us
Gods Will Jesus preached for about three years the gospel
Jesus taught his disciples that’s for us the church all of it is meant to be believed and as we learn we are meant to keep walking in it moving forward from glory to glory and faith to faith .
one example of repentance it’s not just to say this
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
it’s not just saying repent it’s also learning what repentance is in Christ for instance we should
begin to see repentance like this
“Then
drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
And the
Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep,
if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
( now he applies that parable )
I say unto you, that
likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Luke 15:1-10
notice how the Pharisees didn’t see the value they were too busy worried that Jesus was associating with sinners and thinking they were righteous by the law but
the sinners were listening to him because his message was for them
if we begin to see thing like Jesus taught it’s going to change us and turn us to repentance see how repentance becomes a really great thing in his word heres Another offering
“And he said, A certain man had
two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
And not many days after
the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
And
when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
And
he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.”
Luke 15:11-24 KJV
do you see what I’m saying ? Notice the father was concerned not with his sins but that he came home finally the son was concerned with his sins but the father just wanted him home so he could heal and care for him
We’ve all sinned and we’re at some time like the son who offended and wasted his inheritance but God is calling us home and Jesus is the way home
it took his sons
change of heart to bring him back the gospel can change our heart and turn us to the right understanding of God to know God we need to accept the gospel Jesus is how we can know him all he preached and taught is the gospel as well as his death and resurrection it’s his word and his blood of remission Thats the covenant
his word of you notice isn’t a list of dos and donts it’s rather
a faith he’s teaching us how to believe right. if we start believing right we will be able to start living right everything we do is because of what the inside our heart
“And he said, That which
cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:20-23 KJV
Those thkngs lead us into acting in sin we need to repent there in our heart so we’re not being led to sin . But instead we fill our hearts with his word of faith and we’re led into righteousness to believe the gospel can change that like this command
“But I say unto you, That
whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Matthew 5:28 KJV
you see if we follow Jesus word and repent when the wrong spirit is in us like lust we can keep from committing that sin because of we don’t forst allow it to take root on our heart or if we start believing that we need to repent inside our mind and heart we’re never going to commit the sin it comes from allowing our heart to be defiled
repentance is to change our minds from the flesh commands “ don’t commit “ to what keeps us from committing the sin which is to cut off the thought and fantasy in our heart the spirit is what keeps us from following the flesh
Gods word through Christ Jesus is the gospel as well as everything he did in the gospel Paul taught almost every point of it so did the other apostles
it’s why he was sent to us that
if we repent and believe him we’re going to be saved but we have to accept his word that’s what changes our heart be purified our inner self so our hearts rent like that anymore at that point we aren’t going to serve sin anymore me it’s because of him not us all we do is believe and follow after him our issue is within and that’s where we find repentance In Truth
we just have to
trust what the savior said to us because it’s this
“Jesus answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”
John 7:16-17 KJV
It’s this
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
It’s this
“It is written in the prophets, And
they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
John 6:45 KJV
it’s as simple as trusting this and accepting what he teaches
“
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:27-30 KJV
Thats what accomplishes this
“And we know that
the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:20 KJV
it’s what all of scriptire leads us to
“
Search the scriptures; for in them
ye think ye have eternal life: and
they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.”
John 5:39-40 KJV
repentance , righteousness salvation is all a fruit of believing the truth of Jesus Christ the gospel. And following where it leads us always going to lead to repentance and a life that pleases God of we follow Jesus word always without fail and
it’s the only way to know him
“Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”
John 14:6-7 KJV
The gospel is recorded by four books Matthew mark Luke and John it is the life , ministry , miracles , teachings , sacrifice of and resurrection of also exaltation to the throne in heaven of Jesus Christ
