The Gospel
Acts 10:39-42, 13:32-34, 20:24, 20:28( this verse refers to the Bishops and clergy), 27:23
Romans 1:3-6, Romans 2:10 (this refers to good works) 5:8, 5:24-25,
Acts 10.39-42 -
every one who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins though His Name
Acts 13.32-39 -
through this Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by Him
everyone who believes is freed from everything from which they could not be freed by the Law of Moses.
Acts 20.24 - to testify to t
he Gospel of the unmerited love and favour of God
Acts 20.28 refers to the local church leaders appointed by the Apostles as local guardians of God's people NOT to bishops and clergy.
Acts 27.23 - irrelevant.
Romans 1:3-6, - designated the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead -- to bring about the obedience of faith
(to cause men to obey Him by believing) for the sake of His name.
Romans 2:10 (this refers to good works) - yes but not as saving men and women. Why do men do these good works? Because having been
saved by God's grace without works, and having believed (Eph 2.8-9), they are created in Christ Jesus (through new birth) UNTO good works which God has before ordained that they should walk in them (Eph 2.10).
Rom 3.24 - being
accounted as righteous AS A FREE GIFT through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.
Rom 5:8, But God commends His love towards us in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, since therefore we are now
counted as righteous by His blood. much more will we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.
S
o you agree that the Gospel is that we are freely forgiven by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and as a consequence accounted as righteous by faith without works? (No need for the church to intervene)
