The Gospel: The Story we Live and Tell with Victor Nakah | Seoul Statement
In this presentation, Victor Nakah explores the heart of the gospel, which is not a set of beliefs alone, but as the unfolding story of God’s redeeming love for all creation. Drawing from the Seoul Statement, he reflects on how the gospel forms our identity, shapes our worship, and calls us into a life of mission and justice.
Victor traces the biblical narrative from creation to new creation, inviting us to see the gospel as the story we live and tell—a story that confronts brokenness with hope, and sin with grace. In a world of confusion, suffering, and spiritual hunger, the Church is called to embody and proclaim this good news with courage, clarity, and compassion.
Part of the Seoul Statement Companion Series, this video offers a theological foundation for understanding the gospel not just as a message to believe, but as a reality to inhabit—personally, communally, and globally.
Watch now to be renewed in your love for the gospel and your calling to live it out in every context of life and mission.
