✝ The Everlasting Gospel – Part 1: The Power of God’s Gospel
🔥 The Opening of the Gospel – God’s Plan
The good news, or Gospel, is not just news. It is a powerful message that has changed the history of the world. It is God’s message for all mankind, and in it is found the true purpose of life and eternal hope.
The gospel is the message of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This message is not just for a few people in the world, but for every person—you and me, all of us. It not only changes our lives on this earth, but it gives us the hope of eternal life and a place in the kingdom of God.
📖 “The power of the gospel brings us into the wonderful reality of the kingdom of God.” (Romans 1:16)
✝ 1. The main purpose of the gospel: the demonstration of God’s love
The first and most important purpose of the gospel is the revelation of God’s love. This love has reached every person in the world, whether sinner or righteous, capable or incapable of understanding. God has revealed himself in creation, and through it his love opens up the possibility of eternal life.
Jesus’ sacrifice reveals God’s love, which has opened the way for the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life. This love gives us hope and strength for a new life, which changes our hearts and brings about spiritual growth.
📖 “You can have your heart based on love, when you believe in Jesus and accept His love.” (John 3:16)
✝ 2. The Subjugation of Sin and Death and the Salvation of Jesus
The gospel warns us about the power of sin and death. Because people have sinned, their relationship with God has been damaged. This is the cause of human suffering, pain, and death on earth.
But the gospel offers a solution to this problem: Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins and gain victory over death. By dying on the cross, Jesus atoned for our sins and opened the way for us to be reconciled to God. This defeated the effects of death and sin.
📖 “I will free you from the penalty of death, and you will receive the gift of eternal life.” (Romans 6:23)
✝ 3. The Importance of Faith and Eternal Life
The gospel invites believers to enter into a relationship with God through faith. Only by believing in Jesus can we be freed from sin and have eternal life with God.
This faith must not only work in our thoughts, but also in our hearts and lives. When we believe in Jesus, our hearts and lives are changed. Faith enables us to accept God’s gift and live with these true purposes.
📖 “He who believes in Jesus has eternal life.” (John 5:24)
✝ 4. The results of the gospel: changes in life and new hope
The message of the gospel not only transforms our spiritual lives, but it also rebuilds the direction and purpose of our daily lives.
After accepting the gospel message, our thoughts, actions, and relationships begin to change according to God’s will. This motivates us to live God’s purpose and becomes a source of inner peace and joy.
📖 “These words bring purpose to life and deep peace.” (Matthew 5:3-12)
✝ Conclusion: The message of eternal life
The gospel is not just a historical event, it is the most important truth of life. It is the message of eternal life that frees us from the dominion of sin, death, and suffering. By believing in Jesus Christ, we receive not just a better life on earth, but the hope of eternal life and a deeper relationship with God.
Embark on a journey of faith and spiritual transformation for all of us to experience the power and life-changing impact of the gospel message.
