Why is the whole counsel of God important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
The whole counsel of God is essential as it presents the complete truth of the gospel, ensuring believers understand their condition, redemption, and regeneration.
In the sermon, it is emphasized that the whole counsel of God must be preached to provide a comprehensive understanding of salvation, including the three R's—ruined by the fall, redeemed by the blood of Christ, and regenerated by the Spirit. Any dilution or distortion of the gospel is deemed antichrist as it undermines the completeness of Christ's work and misleads the faithful. Just as Paul urged the elders in Acts 20 to declare the whole counsel of God, believers today are called to embrace and uphold the entirety of Scripture to safeguard the gospel's true message and their spiritual well-being.
