The gospel through our actions


The gospel is the good news that we are forgiven by God’s grace, and that the whole world will one day be renewed by God’s grace. That is why deeds that alleviate suffering are so integral to the declaration of the gospel. In one sense, showing mercy to our neighbor is a result of the gospel, because as converted people we live like the one who saved us. In another sense, showing mercy to our neighbor is itself a gospel proclamation. It preaches the gospel through our actions.”
