THE GOSPEL



In the historical sketch of an Ohio Church one can read with interest how a Bible with raised letters was presented in 1863 to the blind organist, Walter L. Campbell.

In the words of presentation, spoken or written by the pastor of the church, it expressed the following pious wish:

"May the precious truths of the gospel of Christ be your comfort in life, your support in death & your portion in eternity."

How well & truly was that spoken! … Our comfort in life, support in death & in eternity our everlasting portion.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” – Paul (Rom 1:16 NIV)

“If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.” - Augustine.
