Session 2: What Does the Bible Teach About the Gospel?

In this session of Secret Church 18, Pastor David Platt explains the Bible’s teaching on the one true gospel and the one true God. In order to recognize error, we must know the truth. If we are going to identify cults and counterfeit gospels, we must first begin with an understanding of these foundational biblical teachings.

The explanation of the gospel is divided into five aspects of the gospel: (1) the character of God, (2) the sinfulness of man, (3) the sufficiency of Christ, (4) the necessity of faith, and (5) the urgency of eternity. In this session, David Platt focuses especially on the Trinity since this biblical doctrine is denied or distorted by many cults and counterfeit gospels. Each session examining a different cult or counterfeit gospel assumes that we have at least a basic biblical knowledge of the one true gospel and the one true God.
