Episode Synopsis

This study emphasizes understanding the gospel as God's comprehensive restoration of the blessings of creation through the saving acts of Jesus, rather than a truncated view focused solely on the doctrine of justification by faith or some other gospel blessing or requirement. Looking at passages in the Prophets coming to fulfillment in the events of the life of Christ we find that the gospel encompasses the entirety of God's intervention in human history, through the life, death, resurrection, ascension, reign, and return of Jesus Christ. This holistic view, rooted in the prophetic order and fulfilled in Christ, highlights the restoration of creation and calls for a broader proclamation that includes not only righteousness but also the power of resurrection, fellowship with Christ's sufferings, and the hope of a restored creation, moving beyond solely legal concepts to encompass the fullness of God's restoration of the blessings designed for the creation.
