Gospel is for both

I resonate with the quote below as it has been part of my journey to this same understanding of the Gospel.  It is from One Way Love by Tullian Tchividjian.
Specifically, the breakthrough in understanding the Gospel to be just as much for Christians as it is for non-Christians. I once assumed (along with the vast majority of professing Christians) that the Gospel was simply what non-Christians must believe in order to be saved before advancing to deeper theological waters after their conversion. I didn't realize that once God rescues sinners, His plan isn't to steer us beyond the Gospel but to move us more deeply into it. The good news that Jesus paid it all not only ignites the Christian life but fuels it as well. As my friend, J.D. Greear puts it, "The gospel is not just the diving board off of which we jump into the pool of Christianity. . .it is the pool that we swim in each and every day."
