Last Lord’s Day, we took a look at the progress of the New Testament Church which was saved and commissioned to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world even being not fully trained according to Jesus. Our message today will help us know “How God’s Gospel Delivers His Salvation To All Who Believe”
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Isaiah 64:1 – 4 (KJV)
Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
New Testament Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:1 – 6 (KJV)
Php 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Php 1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Php 1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Php 1:5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Transforming Power Statements:
1) The message of God to all people on earth is centered in the forgiveness He has provided through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, Who intentionally died on the cross of Calvary to pay by Himself, the total cost God requires for the sins of everyone who believes in Him; Whom God also raised from the dead, after three days and nights to be exalted as LORD & Christ; This message alone is THE GOSPEL.
2) Everyone in the world in all of time has had trouble, problems, difficulties, sickness, strife, contention, grief, suffering, and even death to name a few negative results of the fall, but the ones who have believed God throughout all of time have been secured in the simplicity of the Gospel which has been God’s fix for all the results of sin even from the foundation of the world.
3) We all who have believed in the Gospel of Christ must realize the existence of sins multitude of contaminations are to be considered as normal as the world itself during the period of God’s mercy, which is from Adam’s fall until the last day; nevertheless, we who are “redeemed” (Saved by the simplicity of the Gospel) even through the troubles caused by sin, we are to operate and rest with Security in the Simplicity of the Gospel!!
