THE TOTAL (COMPLETE, WHOLE) GOSPEL: IT’S FOR THE TOTAL (COMPLETE, WHOLE) MAN!
“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
Being whole and desiring a wholesome living and wholesome being is not magical or farfetched as some may think or imagine. Being sound in life and grace is not in a distance places far off from you – it’s within your grasped. It’s what the Gospel “IS” – and will “DO” as when PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED. And the TOTAL (Complete, whole) GOSPEL for TOTAL (Complete, Whole) MAN indicates but not limited:
** Sin forgiveness, which entails – Spiritual Emancipation of the deadened human spirit;
** Sound mind, which entails – Soul transformation by the WORD; and
** Bodily Healing which entails – Divine Health Restoration.
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS GOSPEL STATEMENT AS SAID?
“The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus BEGAN both to DO and TEACH, 2 until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given COMMANDMENTS unto the apostles whom he had chosen” Acts 1:1-2.
Known for the truth that – MAN (a non-gender in you) is a triune (tripartite) being, indicating MAN is a spirit-being, has a SOUL (conscious of the – will, mind, reasoning (articulate), emotion) and lives in a BODY (clay, humus, sand, dust). The MAN in the HUMAN (HU-MAN), meaning the MAN in the BODY (humus – clay, sand, dust) is a spirit-being. Otherwise, the body (humus – clay, sand, dust) that rakes lots of money from us to maintain as so important we think, is nothing outside the MAN that dwells therein, hence at death, the BODY (humus – clay, sand, dust) is sent to the ground and left to decay and degrade into the ground where it was made and structured from in creation (Genesis 2:7; Genesis 3:17-19); while on the other hand, the MAN, the spirit-being, return to the maker and creator God (Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:7; Revelation 4:11; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-6); and knowing full well, that while man was made by God, He breathed life into the hu-man in order to become a living soul-being (Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and man became a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7.
“But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.
“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4.
And it is by the WORD, which is the person of Christ Jesus (Hebrews 4 :12-13; John 1:1-5; 1 John 5:7), who is the GOSPEL himself, being preached, taught and ministered, that the total (complete, whole) man can be liberated by the pure, true and wholesome GOSPEL.
“And he said unto them, GO ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.
And by the blessed Holy Spirit that is given to us and that dwells in us (Romans 5:5; John 14:15-17), working in conjunction by the WORD, thus help to – energize and synergies – in ensuring that our mortal body is quickened – being kept alive daily, as we minister the Gospel to it accordingly.
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:11.
Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, though He’s the Gospel, equally PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED the Gospel according to the Scriptures (Matthew 9:35; Luke 8:1-3). And in humanity, He also experienced the total (complete, whole) GOSPEL effect too in His EARTLY being. Luke 2:52; 1 Timothy 3:16. This thus indicates that the GOSPEL is life and life-giving to all who will give attention to hear and receive it graciously and gracefully, when PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED accordingly.
“And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM (MENTAL) and STATURE (PHYSIQUE), and in FAVOUR with God (SPIRITUAL) and man (SOCIAL)” Luke 2:52 Emphasis Mine.
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the feet of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all OBEYED THE GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17.
It’s my earnest prayer today and right now, that you experience the fullness of the total GOSPEL for your total well-being as have this opportunity now to read this GOSPEL message for your TOTAL (complete, whole) BEING and give your hearing ears to hear only the TOTAL GOSPEL that emancipates and results in your complete wholeness, and nothing else that’s contrary to your total wellbeing in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.
Herein are GOSPEL SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS for your wholeness experience as PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERD by our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity and others – as possible by His WORD today:
“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21 for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be WHOLE. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath MADE thee WHOLE. And the woman was made WHOLE from that hour” Matthew 9:20-22 (Matthew 14:34-36; Matthew 15:27-28).
“And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging . . . 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath MADE thee WHOLE. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way” Mark 10:46, 51-52 (46-52); Mark 6:53-56.
“. . . 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath MADE thee WHOLE” Luke 17:15-19 (11-19); (Luke 8: 46-56).
“. . . 9 And immediately the man was MADE WHOLE, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath . . . 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: SIN NO MORE, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had MADE him WHOLE” John 5:9, 14-15 (1-15) (John 7:23).
“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” Romans 1:16-17.
“. . . 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.
“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.
“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: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have COMMANDED you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 by which also YE ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; 4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES . . . 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye believed” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.
