Discovering the Gospel

You can’t talk publicly about Christianity unless you can define what it is. 

There’s great consensus that 1 Corinthians was written only twenty years following the death of Jesus Christ. So when Paul writes that he’s summarizing the message the Corinthians heard and believed, he’s talking about something that happened in their lifetime. If we want to get down to the irreducible core of what Christianity is about, this is the gospel: 

1) Jesus,

2) sin and substitution,

3) history and resurrection, and

4) astonishing, transforming grace.
