We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know

God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.

If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?

The Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.

Are you living to justify yourself, or are you living because you are justified?

The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.
