We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray or you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for your in heaven.
Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing -- as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth...
- Paul, letter to the Colossians, the Bible

Recently, I've had the joy of getting many glimpses of the gospel working its way through and around people, transforming lives, changing families, touching nations. What an amazing message it is, and truly the only one worth living & dying for.
I don't think I really started to understand the gospel until only a few years ago. Ever since then, with every deepened understanding, the precious value of it has exponentially increased!
Articles and other resources via the internet have in fact greatly aided in deepening my understanding. And so I have finally put up some links on the side, that you may delve into these rich corners of webspace yourself. Please do :)
