Gospel Grace: From Death to Life - (Ephesians 2:1-10)
This morning we’re going to continue our look at Ephesians, and we’re coming to chapter 2. And I’ll encourage you to turn to Ephesians chapter 2; it’ll take us a little bit to get there. But it feels like I’m always among the group of people trying to rescue words, trying to rescue precious words, words that are biblical words, that somehow get stolen away from the biblical intent and used for all kinds of other things. And “gospel” is one of those words. “Gospel” is perhaps the most treasured term in the New Testament, and certainly in the hearts of all who have been saved, because we believed the gospel. It is the soul of Christianity. It is the jewel of theology because the gospel is the message that provides the only way of salvation, the forgiveness of sin, escape from hell, and a life in eternal heaven. Obviously there will be efforts to confuse the gospel—to subtract from the gospel, to add to the gospel. The gospel is as assaulted as anything for the obvious reason that it’s the singular message that saves sinners.
