The concept of the "Full Gospel" refers to the comprehensive and multifaceted nature of the Christian faith, encompassing salvation, sanctification, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, as emphasized in Scripture (Acts 2:38, Romans 8:28). This understanding is rooted in the biblical teaching that Jesus Christ came not only to save humanity from sin but also to impart His life and power to believers, as expressed in John 10:10, where Jesus says, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." The Full Gospel emphasizes the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, enabling them to live a life of victory and purpose, as seen in Galatians 2:20, where Paul writes, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." This holistic approach to the Christian faith is grounded in the conviction that the gospel is a dynamic and all-encompassing message that affects every aspect of human existence.
