The Gospel of Jesus Christ is no new invention. Paul draws from the Old Testament teachings, prophecies and patterns in the book of Romans to present God's master plan of the ages, the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. We find Jesus in prophecy and type and pattern in the Old Testamant. We find ourselves exposed as sinners in the Psalms, the way of salvation by faith alone in Habakkuk, the sacrifice of propitiation in Leviticus and justification by faith in the experience of Abraham and David. The fullness of the Gospel is now preached since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ but the truth of this transforming event has always been there.
