The Gospel of Jesus Christ,it is not new,it has been around for centuries.Yet it hasn't been hurt with age.People of and in every generation have heard the Gospel and yet it is still as new as tomorrow. The meaning of the Gospel is a simple one"The announcement of salvation for all mankind through Jesus Christ.It is called the Gospel of peace,the glorious gospel,the universal gospel,and even the everlasting Gospel.The facts of the gospel are the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ,and it denounces sin because the death of Christ atones for sin.Yet it declares hope because of the resurrection of Christ.
The purpose of the Gospel is to save the lost,to abolish death and bring life and immortality to light. It is to prepare us for judgment,for it is the power of God unto salvation,through the preaching of it and teaching of it.The power of the Gospel is manifest in a holy life,as it moves men,nobody stays the same when they hear and receive the good news.The Gospel demands the we come(matt.11:28)that we go (Matt.28:19), and that we preach (matt.10:7).In the lives that we live,the conversations that we have,in the company that we keep and the actions that we do,"for whatsoever thou doest,do all to the glory of God."The promises of the Gospel are great and precious.It's grace is sufficient for every situation.It promises devine care and comfort,to supply all our needs,the remission of sins,and eternal life with our Father as we are adopted into His family.
When you hear the Gospel call that is your day of salvation so harden not your heart.Your decision will mean either life or death,blessings or cursings,companionship or condemnation, hope or hopelessness. But if you want to be with Christ forever,don't be ashamed of His Gospel.Don't be ashamed to hear it, proclaim it, and most importantly to recieve it for it is the power of God unto salvation.
