The Gospel Is Enough: Rediscovering the Good News of Jesus Christ: His Kingdom, His Power, His Sufficiency and His Grace

On the road to Damascus, Paul the Apostle heard the words, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?" Paul was smitten by Christ. Paul, humbled by this experience, said, "Who art thou, Lord?" Immediately, the response came, "I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest..." In the middle of his murderous zeal, Paul was shaken to the core. That experience changed him. That day, he received an understanding that pervades his writings: Jesus Christ is alive. Yet, 17 years later, Paul began his ministry. What happened during that 17 year period of silence. He learned the gospel. Paul, by revelation, obtained unparalleled revelation of the gospel. That revelation has been taken for granted by much of the church. We do not know the message we preach. As a result of our ignorance of the gospel message, we lack the experiential reality of the gospel in our churches. Churches, by and large, are withering, dying. And, believers are unsure of what they should believe or why their faith is important. Scott Wallis
