"[The gospel is not] a system of how people get saved. The announcement of the gospel results in people being saved … But ‘the gospel’ itself, strictly speaking, is the narrative proclamation of King Jesus … When the herald makes a royal proclamation, he says ‘Nero (or whoever) has become emperor.’ He does not say ‘If you would like to have an experience of living under an emperor, you might care to try Nero.’ The proclamation is an authoritative summons to obedience – in Paul’s case, to what he calls ‘the obedience of faith’." - N.T. Wright
