Chapter 3: The Gospel

In Chapter 3 of Ephesians Paul talks about how the Gospel changes everything in our life.  It changes how we think, act, speak, and it informs all aspects of our life.   The Gospel shapes who we are as well.  The Gospel molds us into being more like Jesus Christ.  The Gospel is also life changing.
Lastly, God calls us to share the Gospel with other people.  This is further evidenced in the Great Commission: Matthew 28:19-20 which says "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and of the Holy Spirit teaching them all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."  This Gospel of Jesus Christ is that: we are sinners because of Adam and Eve but God created the world for us to live in harmony with him,  we do things to get out of this cycle of sin/brokeness, God made us way for us out of this sin/brokeness by sending Jesus to bridge the gap for us by dying on cross for our sins and raising from the grave in three days.  Jesus calls us to surrender and believe in him.  Then we become a child of God and are called to go and tell others in brokeness.
