The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Galatians 3:19

Title: It was added because of transgressions


Knowing what sin is, that it enslaves, did not prevent us from being prisoners of it. In fact, we demanded the right to sin by naming it “freedom,” or the entitlement to self-determination based on the expediency of pleasure. Instead of protecting ourselves from its influence, we have developed a system of government, education, leisure, and entertainment that promotes it (sin) against the liberty that comes from faith in the Lord Jesus, by whom and without restraint we might receive the promise of righteousness and eternal life.
