What will be your testimony at the climax of your days here on earth? What will be said of you in that city, institution, or nation? Will it be said that you served the purpose of God in your time in that school, that company, that institution and that city? Selah.

ARE YOU ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST?



“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” 

Romans 1:16 (NKJV)



 
The gospel is not a religious declaration. The term “gospel” itself has become a common usage in the Church and the world at large. Some see it as an “act of preaching”
 
In that sense, when one makes any statement or writes a song with “Jesus, or God”, most refer to it as “Gospel”.
 
However, the term “gospel” is not just to preach but essentially the content preached. A message preached is not necessarily the gospel.
 
“Gospel” in Greek is “euangelion”, originally denoted as a reward for good tidings. Later, the idea of reward dropped, and the word stood for “THE GOOD NEWS”.
 
Thus, gospel means “good tidings” or “good message”.
The Gospel of Grace is good news, which unfolds God’s eternal plan of becoming one with man, in life and nature. And man becomes His very expression without any limitation.
 
It is the complete package of God’s grand design to dispense Himself into all things, fill all in all and gather all things into Himself through Christ.
 
This gospel is not an afterthought; it was the original plan of God, which was concealed in Him before time began.
Now it has been revealed or unfolded to us.
 
This Gospel of Grace is the mystery of God demystified, which is Christ in you.
 
Having access to this unfolded glorious message of grace, we have to testify, shout it, announce it, share it, preach it and sing it.
We have the responsibility to make all men hear about this Goodnews. God wants all people to know this truth, which is Christ Jesus.
 
When Paul the apostle wrote about not being ashamed of the gospel, he wasn’t just talking about the “act of preaching”; he was basically talking about the content of the message.
 
Some people preach, but are ashamed to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Some think that when they preach the gospel, people will continue in error. But from the opening verse, Paul said, the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation. (Romans 1:16).
 
Which means, people can only experience Salvation only by the preaching of the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
 
Preaching the gospel is not necessarily a message with the name of God. When someone is reading and talking about verses from the Bible, it doesn’t mean he is preaching the gospel.
Beloved, there are no two gospels. The Gospel is ONE, and it’s the GOODNEWS of Our Lord Jesus.
 
The content and the essence of the Gospel is CHRIST.
This is the ONLY message entrusted to us.
This Gospel is completely balanced. It does not need any supplements.
 
It is the foundation of all teachings, prophecies and the manner of life or conduct of the saints in Christ.
 
Paul (the apostle of Jesus) in his epistle to the Galatians was not sentimental about this reality. He sharply and clearly established the divine thought on this matter of the gospel when he noticed how the brethren were drifting away. They were beginning to take heed to other teachings apart from this Gospel of Christ:
 
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9 (ESV)
 
To preach another gospel is not just the message that says, “Jesus is not God”, not just the belief that “There’s no God”.
To preach another gospel is to preach and teach:

– anything with the impression that the finished work of Christ is incomplete.

– any message that takes the focus of the brethren away from Christ. And promotes “the self”, is not the Gospel.

– any message that promotes dead works.

A message that makes people feel they have to “do something to earn something” from God, including His love, is not the Gospel.

– Any message like “Heaven help those who help themselves” is not the gospel. Christ came for the helpless.

– The Gospel is not “do good for good”. Through the Gospel, we receive and enjoy God’s goodness.

– Any message which does not point you to Righteousness by Faith in Christ is not the gospel

– Any message that makes you feel you have to work hard to maintain, manage, preserve and keep your Salvation is not the gospel. Your salvation is eternal.

Beloved, the preaching of the gospel is not that Jesus justified fornication, envy, adultery, robbery, killing and any evil acts.

Well, He didn’t even come to justify the good things you do.

Jesus came to JUSTIFY YOU. To be justified is to be declared not guilty! It’s the declaration that in Him you are righteous.

This is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST!
 
Preach with all audaciousness and strong conviction.
 
Shalom!

Awesome 
This is glorious.
The gospel is from the greek word, Euangelion, meaning the reward of good tidings or Good New. The Gospel is not the act of preaching any message. Preaching is not the gospel, the gospel is heard through preaching. What makes the gospel is the message that is preached. The message is God’s salvation and Oneness with man. 

The gospel is the foundation for all other messages and prophesies. The gospel is the baseline. It does not promote the self, the wrongs and goods. It teaches total reliance on God. 

Aany message that teaches dead works is a message intended to crash the Gospel we have received.

Thank you, Lord Jesus
