(I Corinthians 15:1-2)
The Apostle Paul went to Corinth on his second missionary journey and continued there eighteen months. At Corinth he preached the gospel of Christ and established a church there. In this letter he is writing to remind them of his stay there and of what his preaching consisted.
The word “gospel,” means “good news.” There is more to preaching than “hell fire and brimstone.” After warning people with the bad news of hell we must give them the good news that Jesus saves. Paul included the good news to the Corinthians.
The gospel is not only what Paul delivered, it is what they received. It is the foundation of our faith. It is the gospel which saves us when we receive it.
There will be more about this tomorrow.
