What is the Gospel?

I have recently started reading What is the Gospel? by Greg Gilbert, as preparation for a missions trip I will be going on this summer. This book seems really thought out and informational so far. To better understand the book, I decided to do some research about the author. Greg Gilbert is a pastor of a church in Kentucky, and the author of the book What is the Gospel?. He also has a new book coming out soon that he helped with, called What is the Mission of the Church?. He wrote the book What is the Gospel? to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ more clear to readers. This book can be used in a helpful way to see why Jesus came to die on the cross, and to better understand that we are all sinners, and need forgiveness from God to be saved.

The book first starts off with common misunderstandings of what the Gospel is. I like that Greg Gilbert includes this in the book, to show where different mistakes are often made when learning about the Gospel. He then goes on to explain throughout the rest of the book what the true Gospel is, and uses many quotes from the Bible as proof. I also like how he includes a lot of evidence, to give his writing more back-up and support. I have really enjoyed reading this book, and look forward to finish reading it!
