I would qualify your point about the Christian world's view of the gospel with it being the way most of the western Christian world views the gospel. We westerners tend to think we've got it pretty good, with or without Christ, so people often don't spend much time focusing on what faith does for us in the here and now. But anytime I've stepped out of the western context (and I think that's 3 times in 3 very different locales now), I've been impressed by the very profound understanding that Christians in those contexts have about what their faith means to them in their everyday lives.
