The Gospel Versus Religion

If you were asked on the street later today or sometime early tomorrow what the Gospel was, how would you respond? If someone asked you whether you were religious, how would you respond? In this short video, Jim Philips defines and explains the differences between the Gospel and religion, and how the Gospel is the central story of the Bible.
