Churches claim to preach the true gospel. But, most of them do not even know what the true gospel is. We think that the true gospel is that we go to heaven because of the death of Jesus on the cross. The true gospel is considered the good news. We think that Jesus Christ died in our place so that we do not have to die an eternal death. So it is good news, which is gospel. But, the Bible says that Jesus Christ has preached the gospel. Then, the true gospel must come from the messages he has preached. Jesus Christ never preached his death on the cross as the gospel even though he mentioned the fact privately to his disciples that he will die on the cross and he will be raised in three days.

Jesus Christ preached his gospel and that is the true gospel. "Matt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee … preaching the gospel of the kingdom…" His gospel must be about the kingdom of God. "John 1:17 … the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." His gospel is mentioned as "grace and truth" in the above verse. "The truth" is the will of the Father and "the grace" is his power imparted to the humble and obedient believer to do the will of the Father. Those who received the true gospel will do the will of the Father by the power of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ. The true gospel is not only a verbal message, but it includes impartation of the power of Jesus Christ.

Satan deceived Eve at the Garden of Eden. Eve deceived Adam without knowing that she was deceiving her own husband. Even now, many workers preach false gospel in the place of the true gospel, most do it ignorantly. "2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." Even though they serve deception ignorantly, they will be punished at the end. So, it is good to study the word of God properly to serve the true God. "John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Then, we may know the truth and the truth, which is the true gospel, will make us free.
