If it is the Gospel plus something, then it is not the Gospel.
It is not the Gospel plus Calvinism, nor is it the Gospel plus works or obedience to the law.
The Gospel concerns Jesus Christ, his life, his death, his resurrection, his acceptance back into heaven.
Paul wrote, "God was in Christ reconciling us and the world unto himself" 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. Are you aware that we have ALREADY been reconciled unto God by the doing and the dying of Jesus?
Jesus in our name and on our behalf, has ALREADY reconciled us and the world unto God. God sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ. Are you aware that God now sees his people as "Complete in Christ" Colossians 2:10.
Paul said that the Gospel is "Power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes" Romans 1:17. To everyone that believes what? To everyone that believes the Gospel.
WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?
The Gospel is the work that Jesus did in our name and on our behalf. In our name and on our behalf, Jesus has fulfilled all of the demands of God's holy law, Matthew 5:18. In our name and on our behalf, Jesus has atoned for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2.
The results is... "That we are complete in him" Colossians 2:10. Yes, Jesus has perfected our humanity and has taken it back to heaven. Our salvation is in a very safe place.
