THE DEFINITION OF THE GOSPEL!

THE DEFINITION OF THE GOSPEL!

I was recently asked this question, with an attached question—“What is essential knowledge unto salvation?” or “What does a man have to know to have biblical essential knowledge unto salvation; to have a sure foundation?
The English word “Gospel” is from the Anglo-Saxon word god-spell, in other words God’s Story. William Tyndale, the English Reformer and Bible Translator, said it signifies, “good, merry, glad and joyful tidings that make a man’s heart glad and makes him sing, dance and leap for joy.” This is true when the manifestation of the message comes into the soul with power. The Gospel is called a mystery and it remains so until revealed by the Spirit. Tyndale gives a good definition, but it’s experiential rather than explicative (it only tells us how the gospel makes us feel rather than telling us what the gospel is).
The message of the Gospel is the proclamation of the redemptive activity of God. That is, the work that God went about to accomplish through the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, the God-man mediator of the New Covenant. That work involved the activity of a substitute going about to make satisfaction for a people. God’s justice, law and holiness must be satisfied; and His wrath, which burns infinitely hot against sinners, must be cooled if those particular people are to enjoy peace with God. The message that proclaims that this work was perfectly accomplished and stands as a completely finished work is the message of the Gospel. This message declares that salvation for sinners was made certain in this finished work, not merely possible without any absolute guarantees.
As to what or how much knowledge a person must have essential to salvation—he must have enough inward revelation to come to the miserable conviction of his utter ruin, and total ‘lostness’ without the Savior. In other words he is brought out of his inward blindness by the power of the Spirit (not the powerful persuasion of men) to see his darkness. To lie at the feet of sovereign mercy as a poor beggar until He upon whom “help has been laid” and who is “mighty to save” comes and delivers. The poor blind man in John nine did not know much, but he did know this, “…whereas I was blind, now I see.”
