WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL?
The new testament defines The Gospel as, as simple as it is, Christ (Romans 15:19; 1 Corinthians 9:12; Philippians 1:27). There is no spice or any additive added to it but it is and always will be CHRIST. So to know the gospel is to know Christ. If you don’t know Christ you just don’t know the gospel. So what is this Christ I keep talking about here? Is it really necessary to know this Christ? Is there any point? I am pretty sure you must have heard any one or many Christians out there that says The gospel is this  i) You are born as a sinner, ii) There is no one to rescue you from sin expect Christ, iii) Believe and you shall be saved. Trust me there is more to it than just the deliverance of your souls. The only gospel which lasts forever is Jesus Christ himself and why do I say that? I have to go back to history. I believe in the Bible as God’s word answers all of life deepest answers about Origin, morality, destiny, and meaning. No theories out there has answers to the four fundamental questions of life. The theory of evolution? No proof of it whatsoever, there were creatures before the flood as  in Noah’s time and there are proof’s of the flood, just take a look into the grand canyons. Big bang theory? Out of nothing everything just popped out. If it is nothing….it still should be nothing right? And ofcourse its still a theory and no proof whatsoever. But when you look into the bible it answers all of these questions. Origin? God created you and me and the whole universe. Morality? We are all created in the image of God and we will have his characteristics. Destiny? Where you are headed of too, the decision is made when your living here. Meaning? God created you for what? Not that he is alone or something like that? He isn’t because of the trinity. He created you and me for fellowship “Come join in with us”, for the glory of his name, that we be satisfied and he be glorified. Ok now lets go back to history. When God created man as in Adam and Eve. They were not sinful like you and me. They were morally pure as in their integrity level was at max. There was no sin in creation until the serpent came and tempted Adam and Eve and they fell. That’s when sin entered creation. God and sin cannot go hand in hand. They are like the two poles of a battery. God is Holy and man is sinful. Suddenly what God designed for us to have was raptured, a rift came in between and that rift is sin. From that time onwards we can see through scripture that God wants to dwell with us, The Shekinah glory, and how God leads his people either by manifesting himself to his people or through the prophets. We can see how God loves his people just by seeing how he yearns to be with the people of Israel. He knew that he would have to do something with his own hands to make things right between his creation and himself. Years later we can see a savior born. As prophesied through the scriptures that there will be a savior for the redemption of the whole world. Jesus Christ born from the virgin Mary. He knew from the beginning that he had to give himself away for our souls to be saved. So that we all can once again see what God had designed for each of us to have. Christ had to live the perfect life, the holy life, the sinless life. He was tempted just like all of us but the difference is he never fell into the temptation but instead showed us how to fight temptation and that is to fight it with scripture. He lived a blameless life, a true Godly life. In the end of his ministry he had to give himself away as a perfect blameless sacrifice for whole of humanity. So that the rift between man and God that is sin be destroyed away and he come in between as the once and for all mediator for our souls. The curtain was torn in two. The separation between God and man was once and for all fixed by Christ. And those who believe in His sacrifice, would get to live in a personal relationship with Christ ( God himself). You might ask how is Jesus God? Well he claimed it through the gospel accounts, look it up, and he himself proved it by his resurrection that happened on the third day. That’s why I believe Jesus is God. And that’s the CRUX of the Gospel, GOD WITH US. After his resurrection he would then move on saying that Gods spirit will dwell in each of the one who believes in him. In the end he always want to dwell with us. That’s the CRUX of the Gospel, again I tell “God with us”. The gospel just dosent end there. IT then goes on with the believer’s life,  of the individual finding satisfaction in Christ daily and finally living with a meaning up ahead, and that is always “To live is Christ and to die is Gain”. What will he gain? Christ himself. 
NOW WHAT QUESTION, WHAT IS THE GOSPEL TO YOU? ARE YOU LIVING LIFE FOR NOTHING OR FOR CHRIST?
