The Gospel | Matthew Bates

Matthew Bates explores the concept of gospel allegiance, emphasizing a network of churches uniting under the kingship of Jesus through embodied allegiance rather than abstract faith. Bates examines Romans 1:1-5, highlighting Paul's precise definition of the gospel, focusing on the incarnation and Jesus' exaltation. He discusses the significance of 'pistis,' translating it as faithfulness or allegiance, and its implications for understanding the gospel beyond mere salvation to encompass discipleship and obedience to Jesus the king.
