What is “Gospel-Centrality?”

After attending the Desiring God National Conference, I’ve been mulling over the idea of “gospel-centrality.”

The idea of being “gospel-centered” is very appealing. Surely every Christian should strive to have the historical, apostolic gospel at the center of his life.

The question bouncing around my head has been, “what does that mean?”

What does it mean to be “gospel-centered?” At a superficial level, I suppose it means that as a Christian, I must live life in such a way that my motivations and attitudes stem from what Christ accomplished on my behalf through his death, burial, and resurrection. But this is still vague.

So, in my personal life and in ministry, I’m trying to nail down what it means to have Jesus and his gospel as the motivation, means, and goal of what I do and why I exist.
