What is the Gospel? Is it possible we've settled for less than the full gospel? Have we settled for a sin-management gospel rather than the full redeptive story of God from the beginning of creation through the story of the Hebrew people, when the Son of God enters this world, redeems humanity and establishes his Kingdom here on earth until the full and final Kingdom arrives for all eternity? Justin leads us through Galatians 2:1-10 as we seek a biblical understanding of gospel.
