There is only one gospel

RESUMEN: We must not limit the Gospel to a series of ethical principles. The Gospel is about faith that God has entered our lives and begun a transforming work. We must not conform to relativism and doubt, but proclaim the Truth of Christ without fear. The church must establish itself as the bearer of Truth and our commitment to share the love of Christ should not just be a slogan, but a genuine testimony. We cannot sweeten the Gospel with promises of prosperity and must preach with our actions. We must be attentive to the voice of God and not be swayed by pseudo-prophetic winds.

One of the experiences of evangelistic work is that unconsciously (or out of ignorance), we have sometimes tried to limit the Gospel to a series of ethical principles about what to do and what not to do. It is exactly what the Jews did in the time of Jesus. They guided their lives and taught believers on the basis of commandments from the Law according to which some things were allowed and others were not.

Thank God the Spirit has taught us that the Gospel has nothing to do with it. When we circumscribe the Gospel of Christ to a series of personal actions towards what is called “good”, our message is diluted and the essence of the best news in the world is not communicated.
