Defining Gospel Culture

September 29, 2016 · David McLemore · 1 min read

Gospel-culture is God-worshiping, Jesus-loving, Holy Spirit-empowered people trusting in Christ alone, loving one another for Jesus's sake.

It’s a culture of peace and openness and joy because we have been redeemed and we have good news to share – so we share it all the time! It’s a place where people are set free from their past to walk in newness of life because Jesus has set them free in his death and resurrection. It’s a place where we don’t pressure one another to change quickly, but help one another walk the hard path of life, looking to Jesus as the only savior. We are needy people with an all-sufficient Christ.

It is like a blanket woven from different fabric. Though coming from different places, with different colors and attributes, they make one beautiful whole.
