What does the gospel teach about Jesus Christ's work?
Answered in 1 source
The gospel teaches that Jesus accomplished salvation entirely for His people through His atoning sacrifice.
The work of Jesus Christ is central to the gospel message. He is presented as the God-man, both fully divine and fully human, which allowed Him to perfectly mediate between God and man. His sacrificial death on the cross was not an attempt to make salvation possible but ensured the actual salvation of those whom He came to redeem. As stated in John 17:2, He was given authority over all flesh to grant eternal life to His people. The gospel emphasizes that through His obedience, righteousness, and atoning sacrifice, Jesus fully satisfied the requirements of God's law and justice, guaranteeing the salvation of the elect.
