Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are hopeful

that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it. Hey friends, welcome back to the year in the

I think as Christians, the word gospel is something we say and hear all the time,

but we might not always think about defining it.

So my simple definition of the gospel is the good news that God sent his son to die in our place and rise from the grave, giving us forgiveness and eternal life.

I love how Paul speaks about the gospel in this passage.

We see that it's the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

That truth is why Paul says he isn't ashamed of the gospel.

Yeah, that's so good. And thank you for breaking

down what the gospel is. You're right that that is one of those terms that you hear all the time. And so

it's nice to remember what it actually means when we see it in scripture. Is there anything else that
