What Is The Gospel?
By Dr. Harry Ironside (1876-1951)
See biographical information on Harry Allen Ironside (Brethren)
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
It might seem almost a work of supererogation to answer a question like this. We hear the word, “Gospel” used so many times. People talk of this and of that as being “as true as the Gospel,” and I often wonder what they really mean by it.
First I should like to indicate what it is not.
THE GOSPEL IS… Not The Bible
In the first place, the Gospel is not the Bible. Often when I inquire, “What do you think the Gospel is?” people reply, “Why, it is the Bible, and the Bible is the Word of God.” Undoubtedly the Bible is the Word of God, but there is a great deal in that Book that is not Gospel…
Not The Commandments
Not Repentance
Not Giving Up The World
Not Comparative Religion
THE SEVEN DESIGNATIONS OF THIS GOSPEL are called…
1. The Gospel Of The Kingdom,
2. The Gospel Of God,
3. The Gospel Of His Son
4. The Gospel Of Christ
5. The Gospel Of The Grace Of God,
6. The Gospel Of The Glory Of God
It is also called…
7. The Everlasting Gospel,
THE GOSPEL DECLARED
CHRIST’S DEATH – NOT HIS LIFE
THE NECESSITY OF DEATH
THE GOSPEL ACCEPTED
THE GOSPEL REJECTED
