Characteristics of the Gospel

Brings Peace:

Ephesians 6:15

And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Brings life:

2 Timothy 1:10

Brings hope:

Colossians 1:23

If you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

It’s preached to everyone:

Mark 16:15

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

Colossians 1:23

if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Acts 20:21

I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

It’s absolute and exclusive:

Galatians 1:8-19

18 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
