How do we know the gospel is for believers?

The gospel is not just a message for unbelievers; it is a vital source of nourishment and strength for believers. In the teaching found in 2 Corinthians 3, Paul emphasizes that while the law simply condemns and points out our faults, the gospel brings hope, grace, and the truth of salvation through Christ. It is through the gospel that believers grasp their identity in Christ as justified, finding comfort and peace in the knowledge of His completed work. Believers are encouraged to constantly rely on the gospel, receiving its promises to experience life in fullness.
