“What is the gospel that the Bible talks about?” It’s a question that seems simple, yet is difficult to answer well. If we quote Romans 1:16: 'For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.'
Then what exactly does ‘this gospel,’ ‘everyone who believes,’ and ‘the power of God that brings salvation’ refer to? As we carefully read through the lessons up to session 15, we will come to clearly understand the beginning of the gospel, the process of the gospel, the fruit of the gospel, and the power of the gospel that is still at work today. And we will learn to enjoy it. I hope this small book will be offered as the 'five loaves and two fish' through which the Gospel—the power of God that still brings salvation—will be passed on to the next generation as they grow.
