The Gospel which is to be preached to every creature is the Gospel which St. Paul and the other early Christians preached. Its main out lines are set forth in the fifteenth chapter of the first letter to the Corinthians, in which St. Paul sums up the Gospel which he had preached to them: I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures.1 The many side-lights on the preaching of the Apostles given in the Acts and in the Epistles make plain that the substance and burden of their message or gospel were the facts about Jesus Christ — His wonderful life and works and teachings; His death for the remission of sins; His resurrection and ascension; His constant intercession; His sending of the Holy Spirit to convict, to trans form, to guide and to energize men; and the promise of His own return.
