What is the Gospel?

Matthew W. Bates

By Matthew W. Bates | Bio

Matthew W. Bates (Ph.D., Notre Dame) is Associate Professor of Theology at Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. His books include Gospel Allegiance (Brazos, 2019) the award-winning Salvation by Allegiance Alone (Baker Academic, 2017), The Birth of the Trinity (Oxford University Press, 2015), and The Hermeneutics of the Apostolic Proclamation (Baylor University Press, 2012). He also co-founded and co-hosts the popular OnScript podcast.

The Gospel: What It Is and Why It Truly Matters

  • The Gospel announces Jesus as the saving King—promised, incarnate, crucified for sins, buried, resurrected, enthroned, and returning to rule.
  • Counterfeit gospels can look Christian while offering a distorted “good life,” so clarity protects the church from confusion.
  • Trusting loyalty becomes the response God calls for, inviting allegiance to King Jesus as forgiveness and salvation flow from his reign.

This is Question #1 in Matthew W. Bates’s The Gospel Precisely: Surprisingly Good News about Jesus Christ the King.
