Gospel-Centered LIving - Chad Phelps

Notes in the margin of 2 Corinthians 4 by Chad Phelps in his own personal copy of the Bible
This week I was reading my devotions out of Chad's old Bible. It's been a joy to read some of the notes that Chad has left behind in his copy of the Bible. In the margin of 2 Corinthians 4 Chad wrote the following:

"Christ is the key to Gospel-Centered living!"
Gospel-centered living is . . . 
  1. Unwavering (vs.1)
  2. Transparent (vs. 2-4)
  3. Christ-focused (vs. 5-6)"

We tend to think of the grace of God as a grace that forgives us when we sin. While this is true we miss out on another aspect of God's grace when we focus on this. The grace of God also empowers your life so you can passionately and purposefully. Living gospel-centered really means that you live in such a way that the Gospel is central in your daily life. You love to and adhere to both the depth of the Gospel as it applies to yourself and the breadth of the Gospel as it applies to others. We continue to praise the Lord for the testimony of Chad and Courtney. They truly lived "Gospel-centered Lives"
