another good scripture passage ! who is paul talking about when he said christ died for our sins ? according to scripture, what scripture? could you please explain? Thanks..
Paul is stating that the gospel is not what he has produced, but that which he received from the Lord (Gal. 1:12). As a steward of the mysteries of God, an apostle, teacher, preacher, et. al., he was obliged to preach to both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 20:21). Paul’s summary is founded upon Scripture, i.e. the OT (Isa 53:5-9; cf. Psa 22:16; 1 Pet. 3:18). Kistemaker summarizes, “for him, the elementary teachings of this gospel are these four redemptive facts”:

1. that Christ died for our sins,
according to the Scriptures;

2. that he was buried;

3. that he was raised on the third day,
according to the Scriptures; and

4. that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
These facts are the most important ones in Paul’s gospel presentation.
