THE GOSPEL: THE POWER OF GOD

THE GOSPEL: THE POWER OF GOD – TO HUMAN SALVATION!

“. . . 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that perish FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are SAVED it is the POWER of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:17-25.

The GOSPEL is about the CROSS, the CROSS is about CHRIST JESUS, and CHRIST JESUS is the POWER of God, the POWER of God is about human SALVATION – and NOTHING ELSE; otherwise, it’s more to human BONDAGES, PERVERSIONS, DISTORTIONS AND ADULTERATIONS.

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that city” Acts 8:1-8.

The Gospel is to PREACH Christ Jesus, who is THE WORD made manifest in the flesh, that brings about COMPLETE and WHOLESOME REDEMPTION of God to all of mankind that looks up to Him. If you must PREACH THE GOSPEL, PREACH THE WORD, PREACH CHRIST JESUS, then THE WORD which is CHRIST JESUS, the SAVIOUR and LORD, will bring about human SALVATION – ANSWERS to all human QUEST.

“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.

“And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.

Therefore, if the Gospel you are hearing or listening to, or receiving, does not LIBERATE you in Christ Jesus stead, throw it into the bin –  discard it, I mean seriously, otherwise, you will end up in more BONDAGES than you anticipated. Your EARS and well being is not made for garbage and as trash can for rubbish ADULTERATIONS.

“Some indeed PREACH CHRIST even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH CHRIST of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, SUPPOSING to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, CHRIST IS PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

The Gospel gives life and meaning to a gracious and graceful living. The GOSPEL brings ABOUT the POWER of God unto human – DELIVERANCE, HEALING, PEACE, TRANQUILITY, SOUNDNESS, VICTORY, TRIUMPH, MERCY, FORGIVENESS, JOY such like the more irrespective.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with ONE ACCORD GAVE HEED unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and SEEING the MIRACLES which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY” Acts 8:4-8.

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, not a DOCTRINE and more so, not a PROPHECY awaiting to happen to you, nor is it a sectarianism and denominationalism and any traditional dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy to adhere toward. The Gospel is the life, the very life of Father God, in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, in us. 1 John 4:4-6; Acts 17:28; 1 John 5:7. As such, FLEE from every contrary and live in the liberty wherein Christ Jesus had MADE you WHOLE and FREE in Father God’s BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING & PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one 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.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you PUBLICKLY, and from HOUSE TO HOUSE, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“For Christ SENT me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with wisdom of words, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that perish FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ CRUCIFIED, unto the Jews a STUMBLINGBLOCK, 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 1:17-25.

“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.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“Some indeed PREACH CHRIST even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH CHRIST of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, SUPPOSING to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, CHRIST IS PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.
