What makes the Gospel glorious? God does. Not just who He is, but how He has manifested "who He is" among us: the death, burial and resurrection of His Son for our sin. All praise and glory is due Him! So then, what's the connection between His manifestation of Love displayed before us, and His manifestation of Love displayed through us? Answer: His Spirit made alive in us! Not as though it is an insignificant matter, but there is more to the Gospel than forgiveness. Were God to just wipe our slate clean of past sins, it wouldn't be but a few seconds until we needed cleaning again. Enter His Spirit! Christ came--not to further enslave us with even more debt, the debt of "owing God" for all He has done for us, but--to set us free from our debts and divinely enable us to love as we ought to, in fact, to love as He loves. Is that how you love? Join us today for the final sermon in the Gospel Doctrine series and see why, the Gospel really does begin and end with God. To Him be the glory in the church now and forever more!
