The Power of the Gospel
Home > Pastor's Blog > The Power of the GospelRomans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Paul was not ashamed to confess that the gospel that he declared was not his gospel but the of the one who had called him to preach, Paul said in,
1 Corinthians 1:17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 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.
So it’s a problem to even try to preach the gospel without preaching the cross.
Again in,
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
This word comes not by man, neither by the will of man, but by the Holy Ghost. Man may try to change but the Psalmist said,
Psalm 119: 89
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
Jesus said, heaven and earth would pass away but the word of the Lord abideth forever. God’s word the gospel of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ cannot be changed, cannot be altered it abideth alone. There is no other gospel that can bring hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, joy to the mourning. And promises Life Everlasting in the presence of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. That is why I use this topic to declare.
Paul said, For I declare unto you the whole counsel of God, everything that God desires for His children is declared in the gospel or the Word of God.
Luke 4:18
The words of Jesus The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
This is the gospel, this is the word that every last soul on earth needs to hear. This is not a gospel to bring people in bondage. This is a deliverance gospel. This gospel is to set the prisoners free, to loosen the bands of the captive, set them free, none other then a gospel of deliverance of Power. It cannot be changed, it will never be changed, it will abide forever!
I will be continuing on with this topic. I have considered just to lay a foundation and there is no better foundation to build on than the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. For no other foundation can no man lay then that which is laid. Jesus Christ himself being the Chief Cornerstone.
