In this post we briefly define these generous offers from God: salvation, redemption, reconciliation, the atonement, grace, the gospel, repentance and faith, forgiveness, justification, imputation, and regeneration. All of these important offers are rooted in and centered on Christ. Good for a quick review.
In the gospel or good news, we are still studying God’s solution to sin, salvation. The gospel is one foundational aspect of God’s multipart plan to rescue humankind and save it from its own sin and degradation. God calls out to us with the gospel of his grace. Will we respond? I also introduce the three acronyms D-O-B-R-A-S and A-R-T-B-E, and G-O-S-P-E-L, so I can remember what the basics of the gospel are.
