Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Th.D.
The Gospel Is Christ
Transcript:
Now he says, âWhom we preach, warning every manâŠ.â Now the gospel is not âwhatâ we preach, itâs âwhomâ we preach. No man has ever preached the gospel that hasnât preached Christ. You see, Christ is the gospel. Heâs eternal life, John said. John says, âWeâre going to make known to you this eternal life. Weâve seen eternal life.â Well, whoâd he see? Christ! And my friend, today you either have Him or you donât have Him. The gospel is Christ. Itâs what He has done for us in His death, His resurrection, and what Heâs going to do in the future.

About Church of the Open Door
Built in 1914, the 4000-seat Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932â1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949â1970). The church is strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its mission was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name âChurch of the Open Doorâ based on two passages of Scripture:
âI am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.â - Jesus Christ, John 10:9 KJV
âI know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.â - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:8 KJV
