I understand what you are saying when you wrote... "See, a lot of people think the good news of the gospel is that Jesus was born of a virgin, crucified, rose from the dead, acsended into heaven and is coming back. No.
That is the story. Those are the facts. That is what makes it all avilable to us. But the good news is what differance it makes to you in your life."
Your application my be correct but your statement is absolutely false... the gospel or good news is exactly the good news that Jesus Christ who was crucified at Calvary is risen and alive... and because He lives we can have life as well.
To try seperate the former from the latter is a serious injustice to the gospel because you cannot have a changed life apart from the gospel message... Paul tells us, "I m not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes."
Your apllication is still right on the money just cannot agree with the premise that you took to get there...

The application is exactly my objective. The facts of the gospel mean nothing to the unsaved.
I have had a lot of success bringing the unbelievers in by this approach. Once we get them in, then we introduce them to the facts. Slowly, so they can understand what they mean for them. First things first. It worked in the first century. It works now.
