The Good News (Gospel) is based on what Jesus did by-through-with the cross at Calvary …. wherein the Holy Lamb of God was sacrificed and gave His Holy Blood …. as the needful requirement before the Holy Eyes of God …. to provide the Holy Narrow Way by which lost souls who come to Him would be saved. Jesus Said: “I Am …. the Way, the Truth, the Life.” Through God’s Holy Grace found in Jesus and His Holy Work on the cross, we who believe are saved. Amen and Amen.

Galatians 1:8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
What’s the gospel Paul was talking about?
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 -
If Jesus’ death and Resurrection is not the Gospel then where does our hope lie?

Where is the facepalm emoji?

Calvary is a place. The Crucifixion and Death of our Lord opened the Gates of Heaven.

Nothing worse than trivializing Calvary
-
Are we going back to the kingdom thing again?

Disagree. It’s a key part of the gospel and it’s not the first time you’ve posted. It’s not the sole part of the gospel, but it IS key and should NEVER be removed or dismissed as you just did.

Jesus came to earth to be murdered for us and to rise again so that we may live.

The gospel is not “I can be saved”, it is “There is a God who saves, and who loves me, is good, and who knows me personally. He is good news, and a cure to all the brokeness I see in this world today, and all I require to have eternal relationship in Him is faith that He really does love me enough to die for me, and rescue me from the brokeness within and around me.”

Savenaca Seruvatu, Jesus Christ sent HIS disciples to preach one gospel, and it includes the gospel of Salvation and the gospel of the kingdom:
THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION
St. Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
St. Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
St. Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
St. Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
St. Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things. KJV
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: KJV
THE GOSPEL OF KINGDOM
Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. KJV
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. KJV
St. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. KJV -
I entirely Disagree. If you take away Calvary…..you don’t have a Gospel. Also you won’t have the Eternal Mediatorial work of Christ Jesus on our behalf. There would be no Entry in to Heaven as well as no receiving of a single blessing from an All-holy God. ?….. ✝?
