Is the gospel important?




Jesus began preaching the gospel at the beginning of His ministry.

"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom..." - Matthew 4:23 KJV

Preaching the gospel was part of the scripture Jesus fulfilled from the prophet Isaiah.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised," - Luke 4:18 KJV

"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick....And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where." - Luke 9:1-2, 6 KJV

In the great commission, Jesus told His disciples to preach the gospel.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15 KJV

Jesus told His disciples,

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." - Matthew 24:14 KJV (Mark 13:10).

Apostle Paul preached the gospel.

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:1-2 KJV

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." - Romans 1:16 KJV

"For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance..." - 1 Thessalonians 1:5 KJV

On the Day of Pentecost Peter preached the gospel.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
