The purpose of this essay is to write about the topic and significance related to The Gospel of God. The following paper describes the meaning of The Gospel of God and how intertwined God's purpose is to humanity.

The Gospel begins with the Kingdom of God. Everything comes back to the very nature of who He is. For through Christ, God made all things, not one thing in all creation was made without Him (John 1:3). The Word, Christ, became flesh, full of grace and lived among humanity as a man (John 1:14). For through Him God created everything in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen, including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and authorities. God created the whole universe through Him and for Him (Colossians 1:1). Therefore, Christ in us, is the only hope for this world and He is the Kingdom of God.
Christ is as much God and Holy Spirit as he is Christ. This means there is one God who infinitely exists as three persons (1 John 5:7), each having entirely the fullness of the Godhead, and entirely the intrinsic nature of God. The three, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one, in complete unison and …show more content…

He brought His Kingdom to earth as prophesied in the Old Testament by the prophets (Daniel 2:44), affirming that such Kingdom would come through Jesus Christ (Mark 1:14-15), who is not only King, but God also since there can be no kingdom without a king to represent it. Those who have been born again now have the life and essence of the kingdom of God dwelling within them (Luke 17:21). Humanity now reflect the characteristics of Heaven on earth, a Kingdom of which they have become ambassadors through the salvation, sacrifice, and the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus

Introduced were the three main characters that are the focal point in the Christian worldview, including God who is sovereign and a triune God, humanity who began life in God’s good graces, but quickly fell away because of idolatry and bad choices early on, and Jesus, the Savior who came and rescued them. Crucified and then resurrected, Jesus restored humanity’s relationship with God and because of God’s infinite love, through grace, promised them life eternal. Through this, benefits and strengths of the Christian worldview were brought to the forefront along with some challenges that believers face. Finally, this discussion revealed my own beliefs in relationship to the Christian worldview.

The scripture texts mention Jesus as one who breaks all walls that divide humans under certain categories or label them with captions. In other words, if we are able to see God’s love manifest in the love of Christ, we would be able to understand the love of God too. On the other hand, Burton Z. Cooper states that “God has acted in Christ to redeem us.” This satisfies Jesus’ claim that our faith in Christ will help us be one in Christ as he is one in the Father, as mentioned in John 14:20.

In the missional reading of the Bible, humanity is in a relationship and encounter with God because of God's activity. Thereupon, identity exists in relation with God, others and creation. Outside of such relationship, there is no individuality or identity for being human is reliant upon relationship. This discovery of God's identity as an active relation towards a purpose revealed in a missional reading of scripture grounds human identification in the same dynamic relationship towards a purpose. The church, composed of people, encounters its purpose and meaning in relationship with its community, for the benefit of the world.

N.T. Wright’s book How God Became King discusses the key themes of the New Testament gospels and why he thinks they have been commonly misinterpreted by the church. Wright’s thesis is essentially that the creeds, which the early church developed as tangible statements of faith, oversimplify the content and the purpose of the gospels. The reality is that, by oversimplifying the gospels or by leaving out certain parts, it decreases the apparent value of the gospels. Wright’s point is that everything in the Old Testament is leading up to the ultimate climax of the New Testament, but without a proper understanding of its purpose, it has become increasingly easy to miss the point. It is possible that perhaps Wright sees this problem as more prevalent than it actually is.

It deals with a community marked by external persecution and by certain internal tensions which made its enlightenment necessary from the experience of Jesus: his death and resurrection. This, however, did not impede the missionary spirit of the community, committed to the evangelization of the pagans. This paper will reflect in short about the two main sections of the Gospel of Mark. Mark shows us Jesus acting in his ministry, words and actions, his passion and his death. From all these, we can deduce that Jesus appears before the people as the great prophet of the eschatological time, the messenger of the Kingdom, the one who is so close to the Father that he is able to call Him “Abba” (Mk 14: 36 NAB).
