       There it is. He’s talking about the Gospel. That is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to make everyone right with God, anyone who will chose it, anyone who makes the choice. It isn’t limited for certain individuals, but it is for anyone and everyone. Once a person hears about it, they then have a choice to make. This is the eternal decree. There is no other way to enlightenment. One cannot achieve enlightenment from rigorous effort or even by surrendering one’s self to that position. That is because the truth is contained in God himself—and it is shown forth through the Gospel. It is as Paul told the Roman believers, “faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (ESV). One can effort or surrender all they want, but without a word from God, without the light of the pathway to what the truth actually is, it is all for nothing.
