The four gospels are to Jews. Not to Gentiles. Grace is through God’s free gift. That is through the Cross and ONLY through the Cross. 1 Cor 15: 1-4 is the Gospel. Paul makes that plain. I won’t argue the point with you. You have your belief and I have mine. Mine are in the Cross. The Death, Burial and RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ and His free gift of salvation and grace. I put my faith in that. Not in doing a public profession of faith by being dunked in the water, which I was by the way, but that was only AFTER I accepted the Gift, Believed in HIM and the Cross of Salvation.

Actually...
Matthew wrote to the Jews.
Mark was targeted toward the Romans.
Luke seems to have targeted the Greeks.
John wrote to a gentile, universal, Christian audience.
