The Gospel is More Than Man.

 Title: The Gospel is More Than Man: Understanding the Supremacy of Christ in Salvation .

Introduction:

The gospel is the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. However, it is essential to understand that the gospel is more than just about man. It is about the supremacy of Christ in salvation. In this topic, we will explore what the Bible says about the supremacy of Christ in the gospel.

1. The gospel is about God's plan (Ephesians 1:9-10): The gospel is part of God's eternal plan to reconcile all things to Himself through Christ. The gospel is not primarily about man's salvation, but about God's plan to glorify Himself through the redemption of sinners.

3. Christ's work on the cross (Colossians 1:19-22): Christ's work on the cross was not only to save man from sin but also to reconcile all things to Himself. Christ's death and resurrection are the foundation of the gospel and the means by which all things are made new.

5. The centrality of Christ (Colossians 1:15-18): Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, and the head of the church. He is the creator and sustainer of all things, and everything was created for Him.

7. Salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9): Salvation is a gift from God, not something that man can earn or deserve. It is by God's grace through faith in Christ that we are saved.

8. 
   The Holy Spirit's work in salvation (Titus 3:4-7): The Holy Spirit regenerates and renews us, making us new creations in Christ. He is the guarantee of our salvation and the one who empowers us to live a holy life.

10. The ultimate goal of the gospel (Revelation 21:1-4): The ultimate goal of the gospel is not just the salvation of individual souls, but the renewal of all things. In the new heaven and new earth, there will be no more sin, death, or pain, and God will dwell with His people forever.

Conclusion:

The gospel is more than just about man. It is about the supremacy of Christ in salvation and God's plan to reconcile all things to Himself through Christ. By understanding Christ's work on the cross, the centrality of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, the Holy Spirit's work in salvation, and the ultimate goal of the gospel, we can see that the gospel is about the glory of God and the renewal of all things.
