Definition & Meaning - The Comically Diverse Gospel 🚀

Correct Bible Version:
-
Definition: The Gospel according to the Bible (aka the CliffsNotes to salvation) says that Jesus fulfilled the Law, remained unblemished by sin, died for our sins, and resurrected. It’s a faith-based bus pass to salvation—not a sweat-your-brow spiritual gym membership.
