What is the role of the Gospel in Christian living?

According to the sermon, the Gospel must be the foundation for all aspects of a believer's life. It is emphasized that our understanding of God’s commands and the ability to fulfill them are rooted in the Gospel. The Gospel showcases God's redemptive work through Christ, ensuring that salvation is not contingent upon our ability to obey the Law but rather on Christ's perfect righteousness. It transforms our view of God and cultivates a life of love and service. The Apostle John brings this to light in 1 John 2, indicating that understanding the Gospel changes how we think and interact with others, fundamentally altering our motivations for obedience. It is through the grace found in the Gospel that we can genuinely love one another and serve God faithfully, embodying the heart of New Covenant living.
