%X Sa£¿etak This article seeks to discuss the true biblical meaning of the Gospel message given the fact that in today¡¯s Christianity we have various understandings of the Gospel message. Particularly, this issue is present in the debate about Paul and Jesus ¨C whether Paul¡¯s message about justification by faith or Jesus¡¯ message about the kingdom of God is the Gospel. The thesis of this article is that the Gospel is a primarily christological and not soteriological message. That is, its center is Christ: his person and work, and not humanity and their sins or salvation from sins. There is a huge difference between these two versions of the Gospel message, and they shape church evangelism, life and ministry dramatically. Because of that, this article offers a critique and helpful revision of the understanding of the Gospel message so that rightfully understood it may produce better results and fruits in the life of the church
