For unto us was the Gospel preached,.... The Gospel is the good news and glad tidings of salvation by Christ; and this may be said to be preached, when men preach not themselves, nor read lectures of morality, nor mix law and Gospel together, nor make justification and salvation to be by works, nor set persons to make their peace with God, or get an interest in Christ; but when they preach Christ and salvation alone by him; and so it was preached to the Hebrews, and that more fully, and with more clearness, power, and success than formerly; and which is a privilege and blessing; and is sometimes blessed for the conviction of sinners, for regeneration, for the implanting of faith, and the comfort of believers. The words may be rendered, we were evangelized; as such may be said to be, who have a spirit of liberty, in opposition to a spirit of bondage; who live by faith on Christ alone; who derive their peace and comfort, not from their works, but from him; whose repentance and obedience are influenced by the love of God; and who desire to perform all duties aright, and depend on none: now though this was true of the apostle and others, yet is not the sense here, because of what follows,
as well as unto them, or "even as they"; for though the Gospel was preached to the Israelites in the wilderness, in the ministry of Moses, and by types and sacrifices; yet they were not evangelized by it, or cast into a Gospel mould, or brought into a Gospel spirit: however, it was preached unto them; which shows the antiquity of it; the sameness of the method of salvation in all ages; the necessity of salvation by Christ, and the unity of Christ's church under different dispensations:
Do you believe that this is the Gospel?
1 Corinthians 15:1-4King James Version (KJV)
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Paul was speaking to the Saints of Unconditional Election; that's the "U" in TULIP.

He doesn't believe or understand that passage of scripture!
Why Preach Repentance in Christ's Name ? Lk 24:47
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
The reason why Christ's Servants were to preach repentance among all the Nations, twas because their risen Savior, the Savior of all Israel His People, He gives them Repentance along with remission of sins Acts 5:31
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
This Israel includes Gentiles Acts 11:18
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Now this repentance given is the result of the regenerating work of the Spirit from out of Christ. Repentance at the Preaching of the Gospel would give evidence of Two things, #1 That Christ is your Savior and has indeed Saved you, and #2 That the Holy Spirit from Christ has also saved you by His Sanctifying Work in you leading to belief of the Truth 2 Thess 2:13
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Belief of the Truth and Repentance are the same, which is why Paul writes 2 Tim 2:25
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
True Repentance from the Savior Christ will always result in a acknowledgement of the Truth, which is Belief in the Truth !
Perfectly stated ![emoji1]Perfectly stated!
Contrary to false gospels, repentance is not a work an unregenerate person does to become saved Rom. 8:8.
But True Repentance is a Redemptive Blessing and given by God John 3:27 exclusively to His People
Israel Eph. 1:4-7; Deut. 7:6-7 as a result of Regeneration, and the Spirit's Sanctifying Work in them.

It seems to become Very important to define to an understanding, what "In the flesh" and also "out of the flesh " means..
I Thank God always for your agreement in the Gospel !
The natural man (unregenerate) vs. the Spiritual Man (Born of the Spirit).
