(All Of God’s Power Has Been Vested In The Gospel)
TO THE BIBLE: Romans 1:16 MSG
“It’s news I’m most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God’s powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else!”
LET’S TALK
The Gospel is the power of God to produce salvation for everyone who believes. All that anyone needs to become a bonafide child of God—born of the Word and Spirit of the Lord—is to believe the Gospel and confess the Lordship of Jesus. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is what breaks the dominion of satan from his or her life completely.
Now, if the Gospel can bless and produce eternal life in a person who until now was estranged from the life of God, imagine how more easily it’ll bless the Christian!
If you were preaching the Gospel to a non-Christian, the power of God to save and deliver him from sin, and bring him into righteousness, is in that message of the Gospel! Through the Gospel, the light of God comes, and darkness dissipates.
The same impact takes place in your life as a Christian, as you hear and receive the Word; love and faith are ministered to your spirit, whereas hatred, fear, and unbelief are dispelled from your heart.
That’s the reason as you listen to, or study, God’s Word, you notice immediate transformation and a renewing of your thinking; you can tell that your life is being upgraded.
If you were teaching others the Word, those you’re teaching, through the power of the Gospel, are continually being transformed from glory to glory. It makes no difference who they are, where they’ve been or what they’ve done! The Gospel turns the worst sinner into the righteousness of God.
Trust the message of the Gospel! It’s a potent weapon, God’s weapon for salvation to all mankind! It’s His power to save, heal and transform men’s lives, and make them sons of God.
