The Everlasting GospelInitial Words
In our study of James, we havelooked at a number of issues con-nected with the gospel and made
some comparisons with otherbiblical authors.
The Bible does not contradict itself,especially on something as basic assalvation. James fits this larger
picture of Gods plan of redemption.

The Everlasting Gospel1. The Gospel in the Old Testament
Hebrews 4:2 NIVFor we also have had the gospel
preached to us, just as they did; but
the message they heard was of novalue to them,
because those who heard did not
combine it with faith.

1. The Gospel in the Old TestamnetThe Good News
Startling implications: Foremost, thegospel, not simply good newsbutthe good news, was preached in the
Old Testament. Second, it waspreached then just as in New
Testament times. There is no differencein the message itself.The problem was not with the message
but with the way it was heard.

1. The Gospel in the Old TestamnetThe Good News
God intervenes to save us; Heforgives our sins and puts enmityin
us toward sin so that we can bewilling and obedient(Isa. 1:19).
One (Jesus) died for the many, bore
their (our) iniquities, and justifies theundeserving.

1. The Gospel in the Old TestamnetThe Good News
The new covenant is different from theold covenant because the law iswritten in the heart, and sins are
remember[ed] no more(Heb. 8:12).In short, forgiveness and the
new birth are a package: justificationand sanctification represent Godssolution to the sin problem.

The Everlasting Gospel2. The Gospel in the New Testament
Romans 1:16, 17 NKJVFor I am not ashamed of the gospelof Christ, for it is the power of God
to salvation to everyone whobelieves, for the Jews first and also
for the Greek. For in it therighteousness of God is revealed
from faith to faith; as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.

2. The Gospel in the New TestamentThe Gospel Made Flesh
Most people in Israel at the time ofJesus considered themselves to be ina good position before God.
They supported the temple by payingthe required tax and by offering the
appropriate sacrifices. They abstainedfrom unclean food, circumcised theirsons, kept the festival days and the
Sabbaths, and tried to keep the law.

2. The Gospel in the New TestamentThe Gospel Made Flesh
Then John came and cried Repent,and be baptized. Furthermore, Jesussaid a new birth was needed (John 3:3,
5) and that except your righteousnessshall exceed [that] of the scribes and
Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into
the kingdom of heaven(Matt. 5:20).In other words, You need what you do
not have. Your works are not good

2. The Gospel in the New TestamentThe Gospel in Paul
Paul thought he was in good spiritualstanding. But then he saw Jesus asthe Son of God, who loved me, and
gave Himself up for me(Gal. 2:20,NASB).
Suddenly, he saw himself not savedbut lost; not Gods servant but Godsenemy; not righteous but the chief of
sinners.

2. The Gospel in the New TestamentThe Gospel in Paul (Romans 1:16, 17)
The gospel is the power of God tosave all who believe.
Righteousness is based not on what
we do but on what Christ has donefor us, which we claim by faith. It is a
belief that grows from faith to faith(Rom. 1:17).

2. The Gospel in the New TestamentThe Gospel in Paul (Romans 3:24-26)
Through Christ we have redemption(bought back by paying for our sins),justification (cleared of guilt and
cleansed by grace), andforgiveness(forgetsour past sins).
God, through the sacrifice of Christ,proves Himself to be just in justifyingthe ungodly who have put their faith
in Jesus.

2. The Gospel in the New TestamentThe NewCovenant
The new covenant is not new becausethe plan of salvation has always beenpredicated on the death of Christ, the
Lamb slain from the foundation of theworld(Rev. 13:8).
Its not really new (Lev. 19:18), exceptin that we are not just to love our
neighbor as ourselves, but as I [Jesus]
have loved you(John 13:34)

3. The Gospels ClimaxThe Decisive Issue

(besides Revelation 14:6)
that specifically refers topreaching the gospel
(the Greek word translatedpreachedis euangelizo-,to proclaim good news).

3. The Gospels ClimaxThe Decisive Issue
The decisive issue at the end of time is:Whom will we worship and obey?The God who made heaven and
earth,?Or the beast and his image?Obedience to the commandments
(including the Sabbath) through thefaith of Jesus signifies those who
remain faithful to the end. True religion
demands both faith and obedience.

The Everlasting GospelFinal Words
We do not need to balance faithwith works in order to be saved.
Faith alone is sufficient, but it must
not be an intellectual faith as thedevils have, nor a presumptuous
faith that claims the promises of Godwithout complying with the
conditions of salvation; rather, it
must be a faith that works
