Why is the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified central to the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified is central to the Gospel as it represents the power of God for salvation.

In the sermon, it is highlighted that the apostle Paul determined to know nothing among the Corinthians except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This central message is essential because it encapsulates the entire Gospel's power and purpose: the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. This message is not dependent on human wisdom or persuasive speech but stands firm in the power of God. It is through the finished work of Christ that salvation is made available to those who believe. As stated in Romans 1:16, the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, emphasizing the necessity of focusing solely on Christ's work rather than any human efforts or wisdom.
