Observation about the Gospel
Just an observation as I read through Acts 13 this morning. Just about every time people are preaching the gospel (the good news about Jesus), they do so starting back with Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets, and they show how Jesus is the fulfillment of the scriptures, and the promised one bringing salvation. As Paul preaches in this chapter he does so to a mixed audience as well, it is not just to the Jews, but to the gentiles.
The good news here in verse 32 is that all that God promised to their fathers God is giving to them because of Jesus. And in Verse 39 where you could not be justified from the Law of Moses you now can be justified in Jesus.
It seems like when we reduced the gospel to 4 laws that revolve around self, we lost something of the Gospel. We didn't lose it all, but we lost something.
