The Gospel
Preeminent--there's only one
Its source--God; for God so loved the world
Its character--divine power
Its purpose--salvation--Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Its reach--"to everyone who believes"
Its result--the revelation of the righteousness of God
Its method of propagation--from faith to faith--faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Its evidence--the righteous man will live by faith in the God of his salvation no matter what life brings his way.
Its necessity--"on the day when, according to the gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Jesus Christ."
Every man and every woman will be judged based on their response to the gospel.
Salvation or wrath. Eternal. And the issue will not be how much did God love--the cross makes His love undeniable; but did you spurn His love. Choose.
The day is certain. The judge is Christ. The only criteria--did you believe.

"But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel other than, more than, that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel other than, more than, that which you received, let him be anathema."
"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, by which you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."

The Gospel--grace. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God."
False "gospel"--human achievement can save you.
