Welcome to the blog part of my biblical counselling toolkit! Feel free to Print This!, grab your Bible, a notebook, a pen, a highlighter, and explore the Gospel of God from Genesis to Revelation.
I encourage you to look up these verses for yourself, with your own Bible in hand, at your own pace of study, to get you into the pages of the wondrous Word of God. And as much as I love how we have the canon of scripture (and the many translations) at our fingertips on our devices, I'm gonna go all old school on you and say there isn't anything like having a Bible on your lap (not laptop), and hearing the pages, like fall leaves dancing on a breezy day, whirl as you turn to "his precious and very great promises" (2 Peter 1:4). However, for your convenience, I have linked each of the 60+ verses contained in this "One Gospel" walkthrough for your viewing pleasure to an online bible study app, The Bible Gateway. You are welcome! Alternatively, there is also The Bible Hub. (These apps among others are great tools when you want to see verses in different translations and various commentaries on them.)
TIP: What I have done in my Bible, which is a complete mess (in a good way), is to use a pink highlighter to highlight verses that contain the Gospel message. This way, when I come across a page of scripture, I can see where I've been before and where the Gospel pops up in amongst the other words on the pages. More on my highlighting methods in a future post!
What I want to accomplish, through this blog post that is accompanied by both Podcast and YouTube video (coming soon), is to walkthrough the Gospel in such a way that is simple yet theologically and doctrinally rich, backed up phrase by phrase by the Word of God. Every point could include multiple scripture references.
It is always best reference the context of all scripture to authenticate the meaning of a verse rather than take one verse and apply it to all of scripture. Perhaps you can think of better examples of a verse for any given point. If so, please mention your verse in the comment section below! I'd love to hear from you.
The Gospel has been written about and presented by great expositors, scholars, theologians, preachers, evangelists, pastors, missionaries, and lay people for centuries. It has been said that it will take an eternity to reach the depths of the truths, mysteries, and wonders contained in the Gospel of God. So if you think that the Good News of Jesus Christ, The Gospel of God, or the Biblical Gospel can be contained or condensed in any way shape or form, you haven't quite dipped your toe into the water! "Oh the depths of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutible his ways!" (Romans 11:33).
I pray you will experience the life-changing, soul-quenching, mind-renewing truths contained in these passages, and that this walkthrough will draw you a little deeper into the wonders of the Word of God, wet your appetite for more, and give you an increased desire to know God. If you profess to know God, I pray you would know Him more. If you do not yet know God, I pray His Saving Grace would wash over you by the reading of His Word, and through the power of the Gospel of God! (1 Corinthians 1:18).
