We've recently been discussing the need to better define words that we use without much thought within Christian sub-culture. In a recent post we asked the simple question: "What is Evangelism?" many would respond by saying that it is the proclamation of the Gospel..."the Good News".While I would agree with this statement, it begs yet another question: What do we mean when we say: "Gospel"?
Is the Gospel reflected accurately enough when we say: "Jesus died on the cross for my sins so that I could be made right with God and go to Heaven when I die"?
What elements do we need to consider when trying to define what the Gospel is? How has our western culture influenced the way we view and understand the Gospel?
