The Gospel in 6 essential steps: plan, event, accomplishment, offer, application, and result

March 2, 2008 at 8:41 am · Filed under Bible, Following Jesus

  1. God intended
  2. Jesus to die and rise,
  3. accomplishing redemption,
  4. offered through faith alone
  5. for regeneration, justification, sanctification
  6. and eternal joy in God.

(Adapted from my dad’s message, “How I Distinguish Between the Gospel and False Gospels.”)

These are the best 22 words I have ever read!

Thank You.

good stuff! Keller might add “restoration” or “renewal” as the 7th, but that’s my 2 cents… not 22 cents.
