THE UNIQUENESS OF THE GOSPEL

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature”  Mark 16:15

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: You come into Christ by believing the Gospel.

To be saved is to believe the gospel and to be condemned is to reject the gospel. Wherever you find the gospel, you will see a firm commitment given by God to everyone who believes. Being born again is a call to service and responsibility. You come into Christ by believing the Gospel. The Gospel is a message of reconciliation because man did not look for God, but God came to man via His son. God offered to help us (Romans 5:1). It is God’s outstretched hand to man.  The gospel is the promise fulfilled to every man.Jesus died and was in the grave for three days and three nights just to bring man back to God. Being saved from sin is different from confessing sin. We were not there when God confessed the sins of the world on Jesus. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. Christ died from the foundation of the world. Therefore, our sins were already forgiven even before we were born. Nobody can be saved by confessing sins. You are only saved when you confess Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

The ministry of reconciliation is not a ministry of condemnation (2Corinthians 5:19). The message of reconciliation is the heartbeat of the gospel. As believers, God has given us the responsibility of reconciling the world back to Him (2Corinthians 5:19).If there is anything the unbeliever wants to hear, it is the love of God towards him. You do not condemn a sinner to save him. God is no longer angry with us because he has already punished Jesus for our sake. The high point of the gospel is that Christ paid for the sins of the world. Nobody goes to hell because of sin. The only things that can take people to hell is refusing to believe in the finished work of Christ on the cross which is the gospel. Your belief in Christ makes you walk in victory.
