What is the Gospel according to 2 Corinthians 5:15?
According to 2 Corinthians 5:15, the Gospel is that Christ died for all, so those who live should not live unto themselves but unto Him who died for them and rose again. Scripture further defines it in 1 Corinthians 15: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again; any other message is a false gospel.
Les explains that 2 Corinthians 5:15 declares Christ “died for all,” so that those who live should no longer live unto themselves but unto Him who died for them and rose again. He identifies this as the Gospel and notes that it keeps popping up throughout all of Paul’s writing. He points back to 1 Corinthians 15, where the Gospel is delineated: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. Les warns that if we believe anything but that, we are not believing the Gospel, but a false Gospel. He adds that the Holy Spirit prompted the man to bring it up again and again, showing how this truth of Christ dying for our sins and rising again is constantly emphasized.
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
