INTRODUCTION:  There are churches today that label themselves as a full gospel church.  They claim that because they practice the sign gifts that they are full gospel.  Well the full gospel mentioned in the Bible has three parts to it.  It mentions nothing of speaking in tongues or falling out in the spirit.  It has to do with the death, burial and resurrection.

1. The Emphasis of the Gospel (According to the scriptures)
1. How that Christ died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
   See All...)
2. That He rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
   See All...)
2. God Works in Threes (God uses threes for completeness)
1. The Trinity- God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost
2. Three Heavens
3. Man- Body, Soul, Spirit
4. Time- Past, present, future
5. Space- Height, length, breadth
6. Harvest- Firstfruits, Harvest, Gleanings
7. The Gospel- Death, burial, resurrection
1. If the gospel had ended after the cross, then it would have been a work of unity (Christ unifying himself with man)
2. If the gospel had ended after the burial, then it would have been a work of division (Separation between God the Father and God the Son)
3. With the gospel ending after the Resurrection we have a complete work.
3. The Death

CONCLUSION: The gospel is the “good news” of what Christ has done for us.  Our religion is not a do religion; rather it is a done religion.  However, considering what Christ hath done for us, what manner of man ought we to be?  Jesus Christ gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world (Galatians 1:4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
See All...).  What are you living for?  Many will leave here today and go on about your life and forget what you have heard, but I dare say that if you have Christ as your Saviour you cannot help but rejoice in what He has done for you.
