Gospel Means Nothing But Preaching the Grace of God through Christ

Johnie 5's doctrinal cousin.


AC V has left a new comment on your post "The Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity: The Healing...":

"Gospel means nothing but a preaching and proclaiming of the grace and mercy of God through Jesus Christ, merited and won by his death. And, historically and etymologically speaking, it is really not that which is contained in books and is put together in letters, but rather an oral proclamation, a living word, and a voice which resounds through the entire world and is publicly proclaimed so that it may be heard everywhere." - Martin Luther, in his exposition of 1 Peter. "What Luther Says" Vol. 2 p. 562.
