What is "Gospel-centered"?

Kingdom Polemics

In this episode, Aldo Leon exposes the misuse and abuse of the term gospel-centered in the evangelical world. He argues that many people claim to be gospel-centered, but in reality they are not. He shows how the gospel is often reduced to a slogan, a formula, or a technique, rather than a comprehensive and glorious truth that shapes our whole lives.

He then clarifies what gospel-centered means and why it matters. He says that being gospel-centered means living in light of the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is the center of God's redemptive plan and history. Some of the points he makes are:

• The term gospel-centered is often used as a "buzzword" or a "badge" without understanding its meaning and implications.
• Being gospel-centered means living in light of the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of all God's promises and purposes.
• Being gospel-centered means applying the gospel to every aspect of our lives, such as our identity, worship, mission, relationships, and ethics.
• Being gospel-centered means avoiding the pitfalls of legalism, moralism, and pragmatism that can distort the gospel and rob us of its power and joy.
