The Gospel: The Power of God for All of Salvation

The gospel deals with more than the judicial, our standing before God, for it is the power of God that brings salvation (Rom. 1:18)--a comprehensive transformation. Everything is secured by Jesus' death and resurrection; everything is empowered by the Spirit, whom he bequeaths; everything unfolds as God himself has ordained this great salvation.
