What is the Gospel and Royal Good News
- Royal good news is necessary because God’s gospel restores His original purpose for humanity to reflect His image and rule on His behalf.
- Genesis reveals that God’s intentions were royal from the beginning, shaping leadership as serving and safeguarding rather than being served.
- Jesus’ kingship addresses sin in every dimension—personal, social, political, and cosmic—by bringing God’s glory into all creation.
This is Question #2 in Matthew W. Bates’s The Gospel Precisely: Surprisingly Good News about Jesus Christ the King.
