Nothing but the Gospel
One thing we must understand about the Gospel is that no one would have heard the Gospel if the disciple hadn’t shared the Gospel.
The active sharing of the Gospel started from Jesus and His disciples.
Now we are more than one million of followers of Jesus Christ.
This means the Gospel which we have received, can also be shared and other people can receive also.
One of the greatest fact about salvation is that the Christ who saved me is also able to save you.
Math 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
We have been given the assignment of going out into the world and to make known the mystery of the Good News of Christ Jesus
That is your assignment.
This is what we have been called into.
Do you know that we are the carrier of the Good news of Christ?
2 Cor 5: 20 says On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.
Do you know that we are the demonstration of God`s victory, the outward expression of Christ victory?
2 Cor 2:14: 14 But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.
As believers, we are now part takers of Christ flesh and blood
Nothing but the Gospel
One thing we should remember as regards to the Gospel is that we are God’s vessel of knowledge.
We are newscaster of the Gospel
The job of a newscaster is to give the news and not to be the news
We don`t share about ourselves, or about our accomplishments and our life stories
It is call “His Gospel” because whatever I say must be about Him
For the Gospel itself is strong enough to save.
There is power in the Word of God, it is in what He did for us
Romans 1:16-17: 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.17 For therein
is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
The power in sharing the Gospel is not in us but in the Word of God.
All we have to do is to share the word and allow the Word to work.
Anytime we share the Gospel, we should remind ourselves of its power and that it doesn’t need our assistance.
Nothing but the Gospel
What is the Gospel?
The Gospel is that Jesus Christ died according to the scriptures, buried, and rose again according to the scriptures, as writing by Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 15:1-4.
We are to share the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We preach Christ resurrected.
The preaching of Jesus Christ should be what we give to people. We do not stop sharing the Gospel, even to fellow believers.
We should project the News always.
When sharing it, we must maintain the message which is that of Jesus Christ.
We are not the message, and our lifestyle is not an example to unbelievers:
How, what do you mean by our lifestyle is
not an example to unbelievers?
The better question is: is our Character the Gospel?
Ph 3:17-18: 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample.18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of
Christ: Apostle Paul is telling the Philippians church that let his life should be an example unto them.
In next verse Apostle Paul points out the importance of our character which can become an enemy of the Cross.
This means our character can be a stumbling block for other people to believe. Our character is not the salvation but can contribute for people to be saved.
Hence, our good works is important so that we don’t block other people from getting saved.
