“The Gospel: The Power of God For Salvation”
I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the Power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes; first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. Romans 1:16
The Gospel, the Holy Word of the Living God, is the POWER of GOD, for the SALVATION or DELIVERANCE of the souls of ALL mankind. It came to the JEWS first, because they are God’s Chosen People, even Jesus said that: “salvation is from the Jews.” (John 4:22) they were to carry the GOSPEL to the whole world, they were to be God’s Witness Nation, and they were the nation from which the Messiah, Jesus Christ came. Yet, they failed in that work, MANY Jews do not accept JESUS CHRIST as the TRUE MESSIAH. And then the GOSPEL came to the Gentiles. And there are many GENTILES who do not BELIEVE either.
Let’s look at some of the BENEFITS of the GOSPEL and its POWER: First, we must KNOW that it is The POWER OF GOD for SALVATION. It will DELIVER mankind from their LOSTNESS. It will deliver from YIELDING to EVIL desires, it will DELIVER from the DARKNESS of FALSE teachings, it will deliver from God’s Wrath, and from the PENALTY of SIN. It will deliver from an ETERNAL SEPARATION from GOD, and it will DELIVER from an ETERNAL SPIRITUAL DEATH. It is IMPOSSIBLE for MANKIND to have this DELIVERANCE based on their OWN merits.
They MUST POSSESS a TRUE SAVING FAITH, and TRUE SAVING FAITH is a SUPERNATURAL Gift of God, made possible by His MERCY and GRACE. This SAVING FAITH in the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY WAY we can obtain TRUE GODLY RIGHTEOUSNESS. And ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.
The ONLY WAY you can experience the GOSPEL, the POWER of GOD, is if you are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. And ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s Son, who died in your place. You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. And you MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION (deliverance) and His GLORIOUS GOSPEL, the POWER of GOD. Do this NOW, while you still can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
