A fuller view of the Gospel has a major impact on how a person lives out their life, it has a significant impact on how I live my life. Of course, the Gospel provides a message of hope for personal salvation, but it is also a way to show compassion and love to others, to offer hope of a changed life on earth and an eternal life in Heaven. The fullness of the Gospel is the complete teaching of everything, not just certain points, but the entire story. Having a fuller view of the Gospel relieves us from the pressure of living up to the worldly standards, as it ensures us that we are loved children of God. Having faith in the Gospel gives us motivation, understanding, belonging, and identity, as well as gives us a Biblical worldview and a desire and confidence to share it with those around us.
Communicating the Gospel as a lifestyle verses a onetime event is to emphasize the power of the Gospel. This includes an ongoing relationship with God that includes time in prayer, studying the scriptures, and obedience to the Lord. Allowing God to guide your daily decisions and living out a life that teaches the Gospel is one of the most effective ways to teach, to lead by example, to bring others into the family of God. The Gospel teaches us about Salvation, but also about sanctification and glorification, which is why it is important that we as believers understand that living your life according to the Gospel goes beyond the initial conversation.
