What is the gospel by which we are saved unto eternal life?

The gospel is to believe in Jesus who died for our sins and lives to intercede for those who obey.
You can't rightly say Jesus died for the sins you don't confess, which Jesus says to do.
Jesus died for our sins and rose for our Justification (Romans 4:25). We are justified freely by his redemption (Romans 3:24)

There is only one gospel to all, and Jesus taught it when he walked the earth.
You have to repent of your sins to get saved and that goes for everyone since Jesus and all the way to Paul.
So then why call it "The Epistle to the Hebrews"?
Why not just call it "The Epistle to the Church" or "The Epistle to the Body of Christ"?

The answer to these seem obvious to a reasonable person. Some people are not reasonable.

Why call it the Epistle to the Corinthians, the Epistle to the Thessalonians, and the Epistle to the Ephesians?
WRONG!
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. - Galatians 3:26-29 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians3:26-29&version=NKJV
Try again.
If Hebrews was written to and/or for the Body of Christ, why call it "The Epistle to the Hebrews" if there is no difference between Jew or Gentile in the Body of Christ.
Simply put: Because that's exactly who those Epistles were written to and intended for!
Any other answer and you put yourself in the position of reading other people's mail and thinking it's your own, when it's NOT.
Of course we can learn from them. Of course they are a benefit to us today. But they were originally written and intended for the original recipients.
Both YOU AND B57 must deny that fact to make your theology work.
It's amazing how people have to twist the Bible just to satisfy their own beliefs.

Those epistles were written for all to use and share, even us.
Colossians 4:16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
1 Thessalonians 5:27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.

Before Jesus died, he came only for the Jews who already belonged to God by faith.
Those Jews with faith now had to go through Jesus to remain God's.
The Jews who were faithless, they were cut off and bound to the same place as the Gentiles.
When Jesus was crucified, then everyone could get saved, Jew and Gentile, it doesn't matter.
Jesus did not just die for repented sins but for our sins 2 Corinthians 5:19 unto all who believe 1 Timothy 4:10 Romans 3:22

Jesus died for all and you will not enter that grace unless you repent of your sins.

God accepts you when your heart is right.
Acts 15:8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.
Your heart isn't right until you repent of sins.
Acts 8:21 You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.

You still have issues with proper writing skills.
Hebrews was text written to the Jews, and yes, there were ethnic Jews in the BOC, but they were Christians, not believers in Judiasm

It goes hand in hand with his poor (terrible) thinking skills.
