       We could say that the Gospel had been proclaimed to all the known people groups. (This obviously would have excluded people like the Native People of America since they weren’t a known people at the time). All of these theories of what Paul is saying here are reasonable, and perhaps it is a combination of all of them. But the point is that the Gospel is going forward, and should go forward, since it carries the truth that individuals can be saved from their sins and come into right relationship with God. So, the Gospel is the key, it is getting back to the basics. It is keeping things on track where the false teachers had lead people astray. That’s what Paul was seeking to do—that which he was personally called by Christ to do—to spread that good news. That fact can often be forgotten—that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news. Why would anyone want to shift from the good news? The temptation to shift comes when the eyes are overly focused on this present world, right?
