From stumblingblocks to steppingstones

Paul calls the good news about Jesus Christ the gospel. He called the gospel “my gospel” in this letter. The question each of us must face is whether this gospel is our gospel. If there is any part of this gospel that we cannot accept then we do not believe the gospel. This series is an attempt to explain the letter and the only gospel it contains and conveys. For some people it contains a series of stumblingblocks, but let us use them as steppingstones from where we are spiritually, to where we ought to be.
