The God of the Gospel

The good news begins with God.

That sounds like a rebuke. It’s actually a relief — and it’s where most misunderstandings of the Christian message get sorted out.

A full account of biblical teaching about God would cover a lot of ground: God’s identity (who he is), his character (what he’s like), his will (what he wants), his works (how he acts).

The French mathematician and apologist Blaise Pascal reached a startling conclusion: ‘without Jesus Christ the world would not exist, for it would either be destroyed or be a hell.’

That the New Testament good news teaches the Deity of Jesus Christ is beyond reasonable doubt.

Everywhere in the Bible, God is knowable, and God is known because — and only because — he is pleased to give such knowledge to us.

So what does God, through his incarnate Son — ‘Christ clothed with his gospel’ — actually reveal to us?

The gospel is God’s Word. Or more precisely: the written and preached gospel is God’s Word about his Word.

Why Words Are Necessary

Watching the crucifixion, could you have worked out what was happening?

Jesus once said, ‘Whoever has seen me has seen the Father’ (John 14:10).
