Getting The Gospel Right

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Matt Keller • Romans 1:1–7

In the sermon "Getting The Gospel Right," Pastor Matt Keller elaborates on the opening chapter of the book of Romans. Central to his message is the necessity of truly understanding, not just hearing the gospel. Using the Apostle Paul's way of capturing the infinite truth of the gospel in seven verses, Pastor Keller underscores the need to grasp the depth of this good news, not just passively listen. Paul's introduction identifies himself as Christ Jesus's servant and an apostle divinely assigned to share the Gospel of God. Unlike other news we encounter, Pastor Keller describes the Gospel as unique, warranting our full attention and comprehension. The sermon also addresses the perils of false gospels, which appeal to our pride and self-sufficiency, cautioning his listeners about the ease with which they can mislead.The critical truth about the gospel, as outlined in the sermon, is that it was a promise made by God fulfilled through Jesus Christ. It revolves around Jesus, emphasizing His dual nature as fully divine and fully human. His resurrection and death substantiate his identity as God's son and humanity's savior. Pastor Keller concludes by emphasizing that the benefit of the gospel is exclusively for believers, those who have received God's grace and are commissioned to propagate faith, obedience, and glorify God. The sermon underscores the magnitude of awareness and belief in the gospel as a cornerstone for faith. Rooted in the book of Romans' introduction, the sermon affirms the gospel as an asserted promise by God that came to fulfillment through Christ. While dispelling the threats of false gospels, it champions unwavering faith and a life committed to honoring God.
