Good News In The Midst Of Turmoil

 

In the Bible it is easy to see a panoramic view of the entire existence on mankind and God’s merciful dealing with the human race. Holy Scripture begins and ends with holiness, but all in between there is mainly nothing but one after another situation of turmoil, suffering, war, death, famine, sickness, idolatry, and every form of greed, hatred, suffering, just to name a few! Even though things are really awful and seem to just go from bad to worse, God has always displayed to all people “Good News In the Midst Of Turmoil”

and has provided salvation for each and everyone who believes the Gospel, which has been paid for in full, by the blood of Jesus Christ, and verified by His resurrection from the dead!

Transforming Power Statements:

1) After the rejection of The Messiah, Jesus Christ, Israel, God’s chosen people went into extreme denial of Jesus, and continued on the path of idolatry in rejection of Jesus and still remain even today under the same deception, after having been created, called and blessed by God to continue as witnesses of His perfect love and provision, yet God has already written of Israel’s demise and restoration in the latter days through Jeremiah the Prophet in graphic, precise, detail.

2) The original Church as formed by Jesus, through the apostolic ministries of the twelve, became the primary preachers of Good News In The Midst Of Turmoil, as they preached peace to all people through the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone who believes Him and that He was raised from the dead, having defeated the devil, the grave and every false evil worldly system of religion.

3) The book of Revelation concludes with all things restored to righteousness with no more sea, death, sin, lies, destruction,  false religion, turmoil, even the restoration of the “Tree Of Life” which had been under the guard of cherubim from the sin of Adam up until the coming of Jesus God’s Perfect Son Who also makes all things new for all who believe in Him and His resurrection from the dead, the good news of the Gospel!
