The Gospel Message Saves You!
Think About It
Jesus revealed the mystery of the Gospel to Paul by the revelation of Christ “in him” Gal 1:15,16
- Rom 1:16 The Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. Salvation is ONLY by the power of God, and wherever the power of God is, there is Salvation!
- 1 Cor. 1:24 Jesus Christ is The Power of God!
- 1 Cor 1:17-18,21 But Christ’s Salvation comes through the cross; therefore the cross of Christ is the power of God
- 1 Cor. 1:23 So the preaching of Jesus and Him crucified is the preaching of the Gospel which is the power of God!
- Rom 1:20 The power of God is the power that creates all things. Therefore the preaching of Christ and Him crucified, as the power of God, is the preaching of the creative power of God that He uses to save us
- John 1:1-5,14, Col 1:16-17 This is true, because Christ is the creator of all things. In Him all things are held together!
- Matt 1:23, 6:19, Eph 3:3-9, Col 1:24-29, Rom 8:9-11, Eph 4:30 The mystery of the Gospel is God manifest in human flesh. Christ on earth is “God with us.” So Jesus living “in us” is all the fullness of God “in us”! John 1:14, Eph 3:19, Col 1:19-23
- 2 Cor 5:17,Eph 2:10 And this means nothing less than the creative energy of God working in us through Jesus Christ, for our Salvation.
- John 14:17,Rom 8:9-11, 2Cor 3:18 So the Gospel is Jesus in us and the proclamation of the Gospel is making known to others the awesome possibility of Jesus living in them! And Jesus “in us” is possible only through the Holy Spirit! Matt 24:14, Rev 14:6, Rev 18:1
Summary
The Gospel is the creative power of God living inside me by faith,transforming me into the very character or image of Jesus! This means that Jesus Christ literally lives inside me,through The Holy Spirit; giving me His Righteousness, which is God’s covenant faithfulness!! The proclamation of The Gospel is making known to others of the very same possibility of Christ living inside them,changing them to be just like Jesus,full of His Steadfast Love!!
