Don't spit on the gospel
Confession time...
I didn't always have clarity on what the "gospel" was...

Well, not exactly true... I knew the "right" answer
1 Corinthians 15 - The death, burial, and subsequent resurrection of Jesus... duh!
But I didn't know why that mattered.
And so, instead, I preached about how we are meant to live in light of Jesus dying and living again
My emphasis was all about the right way to live in response to the "gospel"
And that's cool, but...
I now know this
➡️ our RESPONSE to the gospel is NOT the gospel
our response is important... but it is NOT the gospel
Inadvertently, i was spitting on the true gospel by emphasizing what I thought others RESPONSE to the gospel was
