1st Corinthians 1:18" For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; But unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
The Gospel of Jesus Christ, good news to a dying world. Jesus Christ and him crucified, the foundation of belief for every Christian, the food we feed on, the nourishment we grow on, and the source of life the believer lives on.
If we are going to build better a relationship in the body of Christ, it must be built on Christ and him crucified. The good news from upon high, which brings about a change in the lives of all who by faith embraces this truth. It is these truth which reunites us to God. The Gospel doesn't need any additives it is good just as it was given. The gospel calls us out of the darkness into Gods marvelous light, and its' success lies in the plain doctrine of a crucified Lord and a risen Savior. The prosperity message sounds good, and might be easy to swallow, and might change a mind, but it doesn't have the power to covert a heart. The faith message feels good on the outside, but holds no power to make you good on the inside. The simple truths of Christ and him crucified alone, has the power to turn a sinner to a saint, it is the power of God unto salvation.
Paul said "woe with me if I preach not the Gospel", for it was the Gospel that called him, the Gospel converted him, the gospel saved him. The Gospel is the power to change the whole world.
