Gospel Preached - To Whom? When?

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the inspired nature of Scripture and its purpose for guiding believers in righteousness. It challenges the notion of an intermediate state for the dead, affirming that souls go immediately to heaven or hell. The preacher interprets 1 Peter 4:6 as referring to the gospel preached to the living in Noah's time, urging believers to live according to God in the Spirit rather than according to the flesh. The message calls for a transformed lifestyle grounded in faith and warns of judgment for those who reject God's way.
