What is the Gospel according to sovereign grace theology?

Answered in 1 source

The Gospel is the declaration of God's work in Christ, centered on His sovereign grace in salvation.

According to sovereign grace theology, the Gospel is not merely an offer but a definitive declaration of God's salvific work through Jesus Christ. This declaration includes the entirety of God's plan, where election, redemption, and calling are seen as acts of His sovereign grace. The preaching of the Gospel, as depicted in Acts, emphasizes that salvation is a work of God alone, highlighting His initiative and divine authority. This understanding shifts the focus from human effort to divine sovereignty, assuring believers that their salvation is secure in God's eternal purposes and faithfulness. The overarching message is that salvation is ultimately for the glory of God and acts to affirm His grace in the lives of His people.
