The 5-session Application of the Gospel of God is the last in the Walking in the Way of Christ & the Apostles study guide series. Here we briefly survey Paul's priorities in establishing new believers in his early and middle epistles, thus enabling us to develop a profile of the lifestyle of a disciple of Jesus Christ. We conclude with how to apply the complete gospel message - repent, believe, receive - by sharing practical tips for evangelism. Thank you for the privilege of walking in the way of Christ with you.

The Content of the Gospel of God is a 6-session study in Paul's epistle to the Romans. Having come to understand the scope and magnitude of our sin problem in The Reason for the Gospel of God, Book 14, we now come face to face with the magnificent love and grace of God in securing our redemption. Join us in unpacking God's glorious grace!

What is the reason for the gospel of God? That is the question answered in this 5-session study in Paul's epistle to the Romans. Here we learn the truth about ourselves and come to understand the magnitude of God's grace in saving us from our bondage to evil, sin, and death. As we ponder the truth about ourselves, we will realize anew that we are completely unable to rescue or deliver ourselves from the pit of sin. Just as the ancient Israelites were totally dependent on Yahweh to rescue them from slavery in Egypt, so we are totally dependent on Yahweh to rescue us from our slavery to evil, sin, and death.

What is the gospel of God? The answer to that question may be found in WitW Part 3. The Gospel of God series is introduced in this book with a 5-session study from the book of John. This study, the first in Part 3 and the 13th in the series, acts as a bridge between the gospel of the kingdom of God as presented in Part 2 and Paul's great exposition of the gospel of God in his epistle to the Romans. You will be blessed by this rich study from the book of John.

The Gospel of God is the third in the 4-part TR series. The gospel of God is the aspect of the Christian gospel that appeals most strongly to the Gentile mind, and it confronts mankind's bondage to evil, sin, and death. Our appropriate response to the gospel of God is to believe and receive it, and then to turn our lives over to Jesus Christ and become His obedient followers. The gospel of God includes provision, not only for the penalty of sin, which is death, but also its power. Its ultimate application will bring about the eradication of evil, sin, and death, not only from our lives, but from the entire cosmos."But now, apart from the law, God's righteousness has been revealed - attested by the Law and the Prophets - that is, God's righteousness through the faith of Jesus Christ, into all who believe..." [Romans 3:21-22, adapted from the HCSB]

The Gospel of the Kingdom of God is the second in the 4-part TR series. The gospel of the kingdom of God appeals most strongly to the Jewish mind, and it confronts mankind's prideful rebellion against God's righteous rule. Our appropriate response to the gospel of the kingdom is to repent of our prideful rebellion, submit to God's righteous rule, and receive by faith the salvation which Jesus, the Son of God, purchased for us at such a horrendous cost. By this means, we become citizens of God's kingdom and members of His household."The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news." [Mark 1:15, HCSB]

The first advent of Jesus Christ, the incarnate son of God, is an event celebrated by disciples of Christ the world over. This baby born in a humble manger was destined to be crowned Sovereign King of the Universe. Thus far, we have studied how Messiah was given all authority to rule as King, and how He established a moral and spiritual kingdom in the hearts of men. His demands and expectations have been clearly defined. But is this the full extent of the kingdom? The answer to that question is the subject of The Second Coming of the King, a 5-session study guide.

The Bible continually speaks of God as our Father, and we as His children. We who have been born again are part of a new family - the Household of God. God's household, however, is unique in that it has four spheres: the family, the church - God's covenant community, the marketplace, and civil government. Join us in this six-session study as we explore how the rule of the King of the Universe extends into each of these spheres and how we in our role as His children help exercise His rule in the world in which we live.

In the Bible, way is a technical term that designates a person's pattern of behavior or his lifestyle. There are two ways presented in the Bible: the way of the wicked that leads ultimately to ruin and eternal death, and the way of the righteous that leads ultimately to eternal life. We all begin our pilgrimage through this present life on the way of the wicked. It is only by an intentional act of repentance and faith that we make the transition to the way of the righteous.In the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul presents a canonical outline for the Christian gospel, the centerpiece of which is the historical factuality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from a rock-cut tomb after He had been dead for 3 days and 3 nights.The Kerygma: A Model for Proclaiming the Christian Gospel sets forth a pattern for sharing the gospel which reflects both aspects of the two-part Christian gospel discussed in the study, Walking in the Way of Christ & the Apostles; that is, the gospel of the kingdom of God and the gospel of God. The gospel of the kingdom of God confronts our prideful rebellion against the righteous rule of God, and the gospel of God confronts our bondage to evil, sin, and death. The proper response to the Christian gospel requires our obedience as well as belief.
