THE EVERLASTING
GOSPEL
2014-12-27_Q4_L13
THE GOSPEL IN THE OLD TESTAMENTHow did people before Jesus understand the Gospel?
ADAM• “And I will put
enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” (Genesis 3:15)
• Salvation would come through the suffering of a descendant of Eve. He would put end to sin.
DAVID• “If You, Lord,
should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” (Psalm 130:3-4)
• There is no salvation without forgiveness of sins. God forgives our sins for free.
ISAIAH• “All we like sheep
have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6)
• The Messiah would gain our salvation through suffering and death. He would forgive our sins that way.
JEREMIAH• “But this is the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (Jeremiah 31:33)
• God would make a new covenant. He would sanctify us and write His Law in our minds.
THE GOSPEL IN THE GOSPELSTHE PRODIGAL SON (Luke 15:11-32)• God is a loving Father. He is willing to
forgive His children.• We must humble ourselves, admitting
our sins and accept His forgiveness.
THE PHARISEE AND THE TAX COLLECTOR (Luke 18:9-17)• God ignores those who believe they are just, but justifies the
repentant sinners. He makes them free from their guilt.
THE BLOOD OF CHRIST (Matthew 26:28)• Jesus suffered the death we deserved. He was the
true Paschal Lamb.• Salvation is for free because Jesus already paid for it.
THE GOSPEL IN PAUL’S EPISTLESTAKING AWAY THE VEIL (2 Corinthians 3:2-6, 14-16)
• Jesus took the veil away for Paul in his way to Damascus. Then he could understand the Scriptures.
• When we read the Bible, the Holy Spirit takes our veils away so we can understand the Gospel of life.
POWER OF GOD (Romans 1:16-17)
• The Gospel is power of God to salvation.
• We use that power by faith.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS (Romans 3:24-26)
• Redemption: God bought us back and paid for our sins.
• Justification: He made us free from guilt and purified us by grace.
• Forgiveness: God accepted us again. He “forgets” our past sins.
A disobedient people
Imperfect sacrifices
A perfect sacrifice
An obedient people
THE GOSPEL IN HEBREWS
“Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.” (Hebrews 8:9)
“For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.” (Hebrews 10:4)
“By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” (Hebrews 10:10)
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (Hebrews 8:10)

COMMANDMENTS AND THE FAITH
Revelation 14:12; 12:17
“But in the days of the sounding of the
seventh angel, when he is about
to sound, the mystery of God
would be finished, as He declared to His servants the
prophets.”(Revelation 10:7)
“Then I saw another angel
flying in the midst of heaven, having
the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every
nation, tribe, tongue, and
people.”(Revelation 14:6)
“Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep
the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”(Revelation 14:12)
“The sacrifice of Christ as an atonement for sin is the great truth around which all other truths cluster. In order to be rightly understood and appreciated, every truth in the word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, must be studied in the light that streams from the cross of Calvary. I present before you the great, grand monument of mercy and regeneration, salvation and redemption,—the Son of God uplifted on the cross. This is to be the foundation of every discourse given by our ministers.”
