Description

The GOSPEL is simply GOOD NEWS.

Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

I am NOT ASHAMED of the GOSPEL.

I AM NOT ASHAMED BECAUSE:

  1. The gospel is from GOD.

Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—

Romans 1:2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures

I Peter 1:20 God chose Him as your ransom long before the world began.

  1. The gospel is about JESUS.

Romans 1:3-4 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. 

  1. The gospel produces OBEDIENCE.

Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. 

Real faith is MARKED by a desire to PLEASE God.

Being good doesn’t SAVE us, but being good is EVIDENCE that Jesus has saved us.

Matthew 5:16 let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

It's the PEOPLE who don’t LOOK like the world, that will be the people who CHANGE the world. 

  1. The gospel is for EVERYONE.

Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. 

Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 1:14-15 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

  1. The gospel is POWERFUL.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 

Salvation- sōtēria – WHOLISTIC transformation

The LIFE you desire will never be achieved because of SELF, but because of Christ’s SACRIFICE. 

Have you experienced the gospel power in your life?

Are you ashamed of the gospel?
