The gospel is important because it confronts us, shows us our sin, our moral helplessness, our intellectual blindness, God’s wrath against us.
The gospel assures us that God has a deep and committed love for sinners, that He desires fellowship with us, that He even went so far as to provide a substitutionary sacrifice for our sin, payment in blood, the blood of His son.
The gospel is a call. We are summoned by God to turn from our sin and to trust in God, to give ourselves over wholly to His plan and provision – the Lamb’s way.
We respond to the gospel. We go with God, agree with God about our sin. We repent and are saved.
