The Gospel in a Nutshell
Commentators explain that "repentance and remission of sins" is the heart of the gospel message. Repentance isn't a work that earns forgiveness; rather, forgiveness is a gift purchased by Christ's blood. Scholars like John Gill clarify that these two are preached together because genuine repentance is a grace-given response that flows from the hope of God's pardon, which is offered freely in Jesus' name.
