Sharing the Gospel

When someone asked me what I do with the Gospel of Christ, I emphasized that it's not just for personal enjoyment or gathering information; it's for sharing. The Gospel isn't something to be discovered or sought out; it's a message of salvation, reconciliation, and unconditional forgiveness of sins.


The Gospel is about spreading good news from a far country, as Proverbs 25:25 says, and it's a message that brings peace between God and sinners. It's not about condemning unbelievers but about inviting them to believe in Christ for salvation.


Through faith, anyone can receive forgiveness of sins, as Luke 24:47 emphasizes. It's not about following creeds or legalistic requirements but about believing in Jesus for the remission of sins.


We are commanded to preach this message of unconditional forgiveness of sins, as Acts 10:42-43 states. It's about opening eyes, turning people from darkness to light, and helping them receive forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ, as Acts 26:18 highlights.


The Gospel is a message of faith, grace, and freely given salvation, as Romans 10:8, Acts 20:24, and Romans 8:32 affirm. Once we receive it, we become its ambassadors and messengers, tasked with spreading its fragrance everywhere we go, as 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 and 2 Corinthians 2:14 illustrate.


In essence, the Gospel is not merely a body of knowledge but a message that becomes effective when shared. So, what are you doing with The Gospel


Jesus is Lord, and with Him, we always win!

The Legal and Vital Sides of Redemption

 The understanding of both the legal and vital aspects of redemption is crucial for a solid foundation in teaching and living. The legal side represents what God accomplished for us in Christ, as illustrated in scriptures like Romans 4:25 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. These passages highlight Christ's sacrifice for our sins and His resurrection, emphasizing the past work of redemption. On the other hand, the vital aspect, depicted in verses like Romans 8:1 and Colossians 1:14, reveals what believers possess now through the work of the Holy Spirit. Failure to grasp either aspect can lead to pitfalls: an overemphasis on the legal side may result in cold formalism, while focusing solely on the vital may lead to fanaticism. A deeper understanding of the legal side, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Romans 3:21-26, demonstrates God's act of laying our sins upon Christ and making Him sin for our sake. This legal foundation of redemption is essential for comprehending our present righteou...

The Love of God

 The Gospel embodies the essence of God's grace, serving as a proclamation of His boundless love. It highlights the unmerited gift of God, devoid of any conditions. Its transformative power is unleashed upon those who simply believe and receive it. Through its intricate narrative, the Gospel delineates the step-by-step journey of grace and mercy. Unlike mere hearsay or emotional appeals, the Gospel represents the divine presence within humanity. It tells the story of God incarnate, who lived, died, rose, and continues to reign as the embodiment of humanity—Jesus Christ. In Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul articulates the Gospel as the foundational truth of Christ's sacrificial death for our sins, in accordance with the scriptures. The question arises: Why would someone die for our sins? Romans 6:23 elucidates that death is the inevitable consequence of sin, but through Christ, God offers the gift of eternal life. God's love is magnified in Romans 5:8, as Christ died for us while we...

The Gospel of Grace

 The significance of Christ's resurrection is profound, offering numerous blessings to Christians in their daily lives. Reflecting on John 19:31-37, which details Christ's death and the piercing of His side, we see the stark reality of His sacrifice. His ruptured heart poured out blood and water, signifying His death. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, once secret followers, boldly stepped forward to honor Jesus after His death, preparing His body for burial in a new tomb (John 19:38-42). Then, John 20:1-10 paints a vivid picture of the resurrection, as Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and rushes to tell Peter and John. Their disbelief turns to belief as they witness the evidence of His resurrection. The resurrection isn't merely a historical event but a transformative reality with profound implications for believers. Through Christ's triumph over death, Satan's dominion was shattered, and humanity was redeemed (Rev. 1:17-18, Heb. 2:14). Before His resurrecti...
