The Grace of God is not a doctrine of the Reformation it is a Person, but that Person is not only Full of Grace He is Full of Truth, in John chapter 1v17, so those who exclusively and incessantly preach a Grace, without Truth in equal proportion distort the revelation of the Word who is God manifest in the Flesh , and this means that those who preach Grace alone are false teachers, and those who teach Truth alone are false teachers, because He who is Eternal Life and Salvation, is Full of Grace and Full of Truth
Good message. However @ around the 20 minute mark, Adam may want to clarify his use of the term "liberalism" as something people turn to (and away from God). Against the hyper-partisan backdrop that is American politics and society, this can easily be interpreted as him saying that no liberal is a true follower of Christ. Of course this is understandable because he's Australian and is not expected to know everything about American politics and society.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

The Gospel of the Kingdom was the fulfillment of Gods covenant promises to Israel , all the law and prophets spoke of it . Through Israel’s acceptance of the Messiah all the nations of the world would be blessed. Unfortunately Israel Itself did not believe and the king and the Kingdom departed . It will return as will the king and God will fulfilll his promises. The Kingdom Gospel required being under the law .. so conversation to Judaism and being circumcised to prove it . Acts 15 is specifically about that .. James and the Jewish church telling Paul’s gentile believers they needed to be circumcised and under the law to be saved . Paul refuted that and the council believed… in acts 15 Peter made this statement “We believe we will be saved as they are “ The we being Jews as the gentiles . Peter was given authority to bind and loose on heaven and earth . The remainder of acts is all about Paul and the Gospel Christ revealed to him . The kingdom Gospel will be preached again to all the world and then the end will come . But only when the fullness of the gentiles has come in.
@@MC-sn2so Hi The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom Jesus says it is for ALL NATIONS then the end. Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. not “for the Jews until Paul” Jesus preached the kingdom The disciples preached the kingdom Paul preached the kingdom The gospel of the kingdom includes the essential death and resurrection of the king.
@@mitchellc4 I'm not sure what bible you've been reading but you've got your Gospel messages mixed up, badly. The gospel of the Kingdom was never preached by Jesus Christ to gentiles. The first and only instance of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached to a gentile was Acts 10:1-28 by Peter after a specific revelation from God demanding he go to the house of Cornelius. Acts 10:28 "And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean." Upto that point gentiles were unclean and it was unlawful for the apostles to associate with them let alone associate with them an preach the Gospel. During the life of Jesus he confirmed his ministry was only to Israel and that the apostles should not take the Gospel to the Samaritans and Gentiles. "He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” - Matt 15:24 "These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ - Matt 10:5-7 The apostles were told at the end of the Gospels and the start of Acts to wait until the holy spirit arrived at pentecost then take the Gospel of the kingdom to the world starting at Jerusalem , then to Samaria then to the nations. They never left Jerusalem they couldn't get Israel to believe their own messiah had come. There's no scriptural evidence of them ever leaving Israel and they did not complete the great commission. The gospel of the Kingdom taught salvation came through ; *Repentance from your sins* Matt 4:17,11:20, Mark 1:14,6:12, Luke 10:13,13:3 *Water baptism for the repentance of sin.* Luke 3:2,Matt 11:3,Mark 1:1,John 3-1:36 *Forgive those whove sinned against you* Matt 6:14, Mark 11:25,Luke 11:4 *You also needed to keep the law and the commandments.* Matt 19:17,7:12,5:17,7:21-23,28:18,5:18 Luke 16:16, John 14:4,15:10,14:21,3-1:36 Mark 10:19,10:2-9 *Have Faith that Jesus was the Messiah that belief in his name (who he was) would save you.* John 11:23,1:44,3:16,8:24,6:67,11:26,1:12,20:29,6:40,3:18, At no point did the Gospel of the Kingdom teach that the death and ressurection of Christ led to Salvation, it taught he was raised from the dead but not that his death delivered one from Sin. Please feel free to provide the passage of scripture where it does. But don't take my word for it , listen to Peter at Pentecost Acts 2:36-39 "Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Or Peter later in acts 3:11-26 On both occassions he addresses men of Israel only.... on both occassions there's no mention of Christ death and ressurection being a path to Salvation. You'd think if they knew that already they'd be preaching it right ? Peter talking to the Jewish church leaders and Paul Acts 15.11 "But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” He was telling the Jews that the Gospel Paul preached among the gentiles now saved them too...
@@MC-sn2so Hi Again Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom is for ALL nations then the end Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Not “for the Jews until Paul” There is only one gospel And it was to the Jews first, then to the Gentiles Not to the Jews “only” Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom The disciples preached the gospel of the kingdom Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom Phillip Acts 8 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. BSB Paul Acts 20 24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that all you among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom will see my face no more. The Book of Acts literally ends with Paul preaching the kingdom Acts 28 30 For two whole years Paul lived in his own rented place and welcomed everyone who came to him. 31 He continued to preach about the kingdom of God and to teach boldly and freely about the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. There is only one gospel The one that Jesus preached That the disciples and Paul also preached As evidenced-> Heb 2 3 how will we escape if we neglect a salvation as great as this? It was first proclaimed by the Lord himself, and then it was confirmed to us by those who heard him, The message was first proclaimed by the Lord Jesus Then confirmed by his disciples Heb 2 3 how will we escape if we neglect a salvation as great as this? It was first proclaimed by the Lord himself, and then it was confirmed to us by those who heard him, They are not going around preaching a different message than Jesus (And I have no idea what you’re talking about with Peter early in Acts, he does mention the death and resurrection of Jesus..?)
Can you please stop saying the Gospel of Grace..that's bot what Jesus said he never spoke the word Grace not one and I believe he has earned a right to be heard. Jesus preached The Gospel of The Kingdom of God. Spoke of it constantly. Love God and your neighbor as yourself don't judge others love your enemies..this is not "work when the love of God is inside you" Not work if it feels like work ask God to plant a seed of love in you. Grace which is Jesus made God's Love possible. The love of God is why Jesus died so that we have access to The Kingdom of God which is the gospel that Jesus preached, over, and over, and over. Stop changing his message shame on you.
