What is the Gospel?

If you had 90 seconds, how would you explain the Gospel?

Mark Dever takes a stab at it in this video (If you can't see or view the video, click here):



What I particularly like about the way Dever presents this is how he begins and ends with the big picture of cosmic renewal and redemption, but also clearly communicates the heart of the Gospel as Christ's substitionary life and death as the only way to become an heir of that cosmic redemption.

It seems that many Christians in this day and age can't seem to strike that balance as well as Dever does. They either focus on the cosmic scope of redemption to the exclusion of personal faith in Christ, or they so emphasize personal faith that one would never know that the Gospel is about something bigger than their own personal salvation story.

What do you think?
