THE GOSPEL AS THE WORK OF CHRIST

THE GOSPEL AS THE WORK OF CHRIST

1 Corinthians 15:1–4

INTRODUCTION — THE GOSPEL IS NEWS, NOT DOCTRINE

Here are 20 definitions of the gospel, gleaned from various sources:

The gospel is the announcement that God has fulfilled His eternal plan through Jesus Christ, bringing salvation, reconciliation, and new creation to all who believe.
The gospel is the good news that Jesus, the promised Messiah, died for our sins, was buried, rose again on the third day, and now reigns as Lord over all.
The gospel is God’s declaration that sinners are justified freely by His grace through the redemption accomplished by Christ.
The gospel is the proclamation that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, God has defeated sin, death, and the powers of darkness.
The gospel is the message that God is restoring His world and His people through the crucified and risen Christ.
The gospel is the revelation that in Christ, Jew and Gentile alike have equal access to God and equal standing in His family.
The gospel is the invitation to repent, believe, and enter the kingdom of God under the gracious rule of Jesus.
The gospel is the announcement that eternal life — God’s own life — is now available through union with Christ.
The gospel is the unveiling of God’s love demonstrated in the self-giving sacrifice of His Son for the undeserving.
The gospel is the message that Jesus bore the penalty of sin so that we might receive the gift of righteousness.
The gospel is the proclamation that Jesus is Lord — the true King — and that His resurrection is the proof of His authority.
The gospel is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, revealing God’s faithfulness to His covenant promises.
The gospel is the power of God for salvation, transforming those who believe from the inside out by the Holy Spirit.
The gospel is the story of God’s rescue mission: the Father sending the Son, and the Son sending the Spirit, to redeem a people for His glory.
The gospel is the message that Christ’s resurrection is the firstfruits of the coming new creation and the future resurrection of all believers.
The gospel is the truth that God reconciles enemies to Himself through the blood of the cross, making peace where hostility once reigned.
The gospel is the announcement that forgiveness of sins is granted in Jesus’ name to all nations.
The gospel is the revelation that God has adopted believers as His children, giving them the Spirit who cries, “Abba, Father.”
The gospel is the proclamation that Jesus will return to judge the world in righteousness and to renew all things.
The gospel is the message that through Christ, God is making all things new — beginning with the human heart.

When I collected these definitions, I didn’t weed any out. These are the first 20 definitions I retrieved. What do all these definitions focus on? They all focus on what Jesus did for us.

Brothers and sisters, the gospel is not a set of instructions for how to live a better life. It is not a spiritual self‑help program. It is not a list of moral improvements we must perform to earn God’s favor. It is not a doctrinal definition that true believers must adhere to. The gospel is news — the announcement of what God has already done in Jesus Christ.

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15 that the gospel is something he received and then delivered. You don’t invent news; you receive it. You don’t improve news; you announce it. And the news Paul received — the news he staked his life on — is that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day.

The gospel is not about what we do for God. It is not what we can know about God.
The gospel is about what Christ has done for us.

Today we proclaim this good news:
The gospel is the saving work of Jesus Christ — His life, His death, His resurrection, His reign, and His return — offered to sinners as the power of God for salvation.

I. THE GOSPEL IS THE WORK OF CHRIST PROMISED IN SCRIPTURE

(1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Luke 24:25–27)

Paul says Christ died “according to the Scriptures.” That means the gospel is not a divine afterthought. It is not God scrambling to fix a broken world. The gospel is the fulfillment of a plan God set in motion before the foundation of the world.

From the moment Adam and Eve fell, God promised a Redeemer who would crush the serpent’s head. Every sacrifice, every prophet, every king, every psalm — all of it pointed forward to Christ.

When Jesus walked with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, He opened the Scriptures and showed them that the whole story was about Him. The gospel is not a new story; it is the climax of the old story.

And because the gospel is rooted in Scripture, it is rooted in history. God acted in time and space. Jesus lived in a real body, walked on real soil, died on a real cross, and rose from a real tomb. Our faith is not built on feelings but on fulfilled promises.

When doubts arise, we anchor ourselves not in our emotions or in legal definitions, but in God’s unbreakable Word. The gospel is trustworthy because God is faithful.

II. THE GOSPEL IS THE WORK OF CHRIST IN HIS ATONING DEATH

(Mark 10:45; Romans 3:24–26; 1 Peter 2:24)

Paul says Christ “died for our sins.” That little phrase is the heart of the gospel. Jesus did not die as a martyr for a cause. He did not die as a moral example. He died as a substitute.

Substitution: He took our place.
Propitiation: He bore the wrath we deserved.
Redemption: He purchased our freedom.
Reconciliation: He restored us to God.

Mark 10:45 says the Son of Man came “to give His life as a ransom for many.” A ransom is the price paid to set a captive free. At the cross, Jesus paid the price we could never pay.

Peter says, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” He didn’t send an angel. He didn’t delegate the task. He Himself carried our sins.

The cross is not the prelude to the gospel; it is the center of the gospel. Without the cross, there is no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no reconciliation. Without reconciliation, there is no gospel.

The cross humbles our pride — because we contributed nothing to our salvation.
The cross assures our forgiveness — because Christ paid it all.
The cross compels our worship — because love like this demands our all.

III. THE GOSPEL IS THE WORK OF CHRIST IN HIS RESURRECTION

(1 Corinthians 15:4, 20–22; Romans 4:25)

Paul says Jesus “was raised on the third day.” The resurrection is not an optional add‑on to the gospel. It is the Father’s public declaration that Christ’s work is complete.

Romans 4:25 says Jesus, “was raised for our justification.” The resurrection is God’s stamp of approval on the cross. It is the divine announcement that the debt has been paid in full.

The resurrection also inaugurates the new creation. Paul calls Jesus “the firstfruits.” The firstfruits are the beginning of the harvest — the guarantee that more is coming. Christ’s resurrection guarantees ours.

Because He lives, we will live also.

The resurrection gives hope in suffering — because death does not have the last word.
It gives courage in evangelism — because we proclaim a living Savior.
It gives confidence in death — because the grave is not the end.

IV. THE GOSPEL IS THE WORK OF CHRIST THAT WILL BE COMPLETED AT HIS RETURN

(Acts 17:31; Revelation 21:1–5; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18)

The gospel is not only about what Christ has done. It is also about what Christ will do.

He will return to judge the world in righteousness.
He will raise the dead.
He will renew creation.
He will wipe away every tear.
He will make all things new.

The gospel ends in glory. The cross leads to the crown. Suffering leads to resurrection. Faith leads to sight.

Application:
The gospel shapes our hope.
It anchors our endurance.
It fuels our mission.

We live in the present with our eyes fixed on the future — because the gospel story ends with Christ victorious and His people glorified.

CONCLUSION — THE GOSPEL IS CHRIST FROM START TO FINISH

Christ promised.
Christ crucified.
Christ risen.
Christ reigning.
Christ returning.

The gospel is the work of Christ — complete, sufficient, victorious.

So today, the call is simple and urgent:

Repent. Believe. Rest in Christ. Proclaim His work to the world.

I appeal to all my fellow believers. Don’t make the gospel ministry the promotion of a creed that must be strictly adhered to. Focus on preaching the work of Christ!

May the Lord fill our hearts with the joy of this gospel and send us out to preach this gospel.

Amen.
