Description
  • Goldsworthy preaches on the content of the gospel based on Romans 1:2-3. Paul places the gospel of Christ as a climax of the Old Testament. The preaching of the gospel always presupposes the redemptive revelation contained within the Old Testament. Paul sees the gospel he proclaims as the chief fulfilment of the whole revelation of God’s promissory dealings with the people of the Old Testament. In addition to this, the Old Testament firmly places the gospel of Jesus within a firm historical and eschatological framework. A historical understanding of the Old Testament fulfilled in Christ helps one to avoid centring the gospel around inner subjective experiences. From verse 3, Paul points to Jesus’ connection to his relationship with David. The locus of the gospel is Christ as David’s descendent, and fulfiller of all promises made to David by God. A secondary aspect of this description is the shift of focus towards the humanity of Christ. Thirdly, Paul distinguishes the work of the Son; the gospel is distinctly the work of the Son. If we wish to tell others about the gospel, we must include information about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
