Your despair-inducing lack of assurance, all that worry can actually be turned to a joy and confidence that right now seems a dream you hardly dare hope for,

because the Gospel can provide such confidence and joy. We all have questions about the Christian faith.

It's why R.C. Sprawl always sought to help Christians know what they believe and why they believe it.

And today on renewing your mind, you'll hear some of those questions and their answers from January's Winter conference held on Ligonier Central Florida campus.

Many of the questions that we have are answered in the catechisms of the church.

So I want to remind you that today is the in the catacisms of the church.

So I want to remind you that today is the final day

that we're offering a new compilation of some of those catacisms

along with creeds and confessions

in a single hardcover volume for your gift of any amount at renewingermind.org.

Moderated by Chris Larson. Here's Stephen Nichols, Michael Reeves, and John Tweedale, answering questions on assurance,

sanctification, and Christ's intercession for his people.

Well, thank you for submitting your questions this afternoon and we'll jump right in.

The question is, what is the gospel? Romans 1, verse 1, Paul writes that he is a servant of Christ Jesus called to be an

set apart for the Gospel of God

which he promised beforehand through his prophets

and the Holy Scriptures concerning his son who is descended from David according to the

Flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of Holiness

by his resurrection from the dead Jesus Christ our Lord.

So there Paul is walking through his gospel in a way that gives some key points that he echoes elsewhere, so it's not just a one-off.

And I think there are some key points here that help us to see key elements to the gospel.
