THE GOSPEL IN NUTSHELL
The astute Apostle Paul succinctly described the Gospel in the following text.
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ,
Called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God
Which He promised before through His prophets
In the Holy Scriptures,
Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who was born of the seed of David
According to the flesh,
And declared to be the Son of God with power
According to the Spirit of holiness,
By the resurrection from the dead. Romans 1:1-4
