As Peter closes the opening of his letter to the scattered churches in Asia Minor, he turns our eyes to both the history and the eternity of salvation. In 1 Peter 1:10–12, we see that even the angels long to look into this salvation — a reminder that we should never grow too familiar with the wonder of the gospel.
Peter speaks of the gospel — not many, but one. Not red or blue, black or white, Catholic or Protestant. There is only one gospel: that a good God created people for good, but they chose what was bad — and so He sent His Son as a ransom, so that we might be restored to good.
In this message, we’ll explore the beauty and urgency of proclaiming that gospel — the one foretold by the prophets, preached by the apostles, and entrusted to every believer today. Because if what we’re preaching isn’t this gospel, then something’s gone wrong.
