The Whole Gospel

September 2, 2026 Taught by Marty Himmel

John 3:16-21

  • The gospel is for both eternal life and earthly works
  • Jesus came for salvation, not condemnation
  • People don't need judgment - they judge themselves already

Philippians 2:12-13 - Sanctification

Ephesians 2:1-10

  • Salvation is a gift - saved by grace and faith alone
  • Salvation leads to sanctification - transformation and good works

Matthew 28:18-20

  • Make disciples, not converts
  • Discipleship is holistic and successive - affects every part of life (including eternity) and passes that on to others
  • Jesus didn't wait for the disciples to come to him, he sought and trained them
