Bible and the Gospel | What is the Biblical Gospel? (Part 2)
What is the Gospel according to Scripture? In this lecture from the Bible Minor Project, Dr. Trent Rogers continues exploring key biblical texts—Mark 1, Romans 10, and Ephesians 1—that define and explain the Gospel. The biblical Gospel is not just a word study or theological phrase but the good news that God saves sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This message is about God’s kingdom, demands a personal response of repentance and faith, and is focused on Christ as Lord.
