The gospel is a message that has to be proclaimed. Why? Because the King of the universe said that everyone needs to be converted and they will only be converted if the gospel is proclaimed and believed. But what is the gospel? As Saul helps us see in Acts 9:20, the gospel—the good news that brings joy—is Jesus. The good news is not a list of do's and don'ts, the good news is the person and work of Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should've lived, died the death we deserve to die, and resurrected as the Savior and King of all who trust Him. Do we have any reasons to believe this is true? Yes, because as Saul shows us in Acts 9:22, the gospel can be proved. The gospel can be proved Biblically, historically, and experientially. Given the evidence, it's a bigger leap of faith to deny Jesus than to receive Him. Furthermore, the gospel cannot be silenced precisely because it is a message that has to be proclaimed, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and proven due to God's providential sovereignty.
