The power of the good news.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the starting point of life for all who believe. Someone had to tell you the truth, whether as a child or as an adult. The message of the cross, the power of the resurrection, and the life of the Spirit is given from human to human in most cases. In the middle east we see people encountering the “man in white” who reveals himself as Jesus.
We must keep this gospel on our minds, our hearts, and in our mouths.
-
Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
-
Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
-
Romans 10:9, 10 – that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
We must continue to remember that the Holy Spirit is the one who draws, and we must be willing to speak when the time comes.
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son that whoever would believe in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
Chris
