The Gospel by proffmykey(m): 4:58am On Jun 25, 2022 |
The Gospel is God’s free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The good news is that God doesn’t want to send anyone to hell. You don’t have to go through a tremendous amount of religious instruction or observance. It’s a gift. All you must do is believe and receive. Believe what Jesus has done through His death, burial, and resurrection and receive the cleansing from all your sin and the freedom and liberty it brings. That’s the Gospel! "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 Most of religion today majors on the first part of that verse— “For the wages of sin is death”—and calls it the Gospel. They preach their hearts out about hell, fire, and damnation . There is a place for that, but it’s not the Gospel if all that’s presented is God’s wrath and judgment upon sin. The true Gospel specifically refers to the meansvby which we are saved. We’re saved by faith in what Jesus did for us—not by faith in what we do for Him . Although it is true to tell someone that their sin has separated them from God and caused them to be worthy of eternal damnation, the good news is that Jesus came and bore all of our sin for us. We don’t have to atone for our own sin. We don’t have to become holy enough to earn salvation. It’s a gift. The Gospel is the goodness of God that leads us to! repentance (Rom. 2:4.) The Greek word euaggelion, which was translated “gospel” in seventy-four New Testament verses,4 was so rare in writings outside of the New Testament that it’s found only twice in the extra-biblical manuscripts we have access to. The reason for this is because this word not only meant “good news,” but it was actually describing nearly-too-good-to-be-true news. There wasn’t much in the world that was nearly too good to be true before Jesus came. But the biblical writers adopted this word because it was very descriptive of what the Lord did for us. The Gospel is good news—not bad news! That definitely limits what we mean by the word gospel. Many things that aren’t good news have been promoted as “the Gospel.” For instance, quite a few people who are religion fanatics associate the Gospel with teaching that, says “You’re a sinner. If you don’t repent, you’re going to hell!” Now, these are true statements. There is a heaven and a hell, a God and a devil, and you will go to hell if you don’t repent andr salvation. But even though all of that is truth, it’s not good new s. "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. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:16,17 #copiedandedited #andrewommack |

proffmykey:1. The Good News isn't that God doesn't want to send anyone to Hell. No, the Good News is instead God's New Covenant agreement and Law in the Kingdom of God. That's what the Good News is about. Whether a person who claims.to believe will end up in Hell or not depends solely on choices such a one makes. 2. The statements in bold are lies. 3. The Kingdom of God comprises of both Heaven and Hell , where Jesus Christ is King of both Heaven and Hell so you teach an incomplete Gospel if you do not tell people of both Heaven and Hell - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 4. God's curse is what separates us from God, not sin - Genesis 3 vs 19 -22 |

Whether a person who claims.to believe will end up in Hell or not depends solely on choices such a one makes. ****1 Tim 2:4 says KJV:Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. God wants all men to be saved. Hell was never created for human 2. The statements in bold are lies. ** Study your Bible well 3. The Kingdom of God comprises of both Heaven and Hell , where Jesus Christ is King of both Heaven and Hell so you teach an incomplete Gospel if you do not tell people of both Heaven and Hell - [b]Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 ** Jesus is Lord over everything. The Kingdom of God is to be established on earth and it doesn't include hell. Hell is different totally from the kingdom of God. 4. God's curse is what separates us from God, not sin - [b]Genesis 3 vs 19 -22 ***Sin brought the curse. If Man hadn't sin there would be no curse. Hence sin cause the separation. |

proffmykey:1. The same God that declared instead that many are called but few are chosen? The same God who made it known that of the two gates into.the Kingdom of God,multitudes will flood in through the the Broad gate that leads to destruction whereas only a few will enter in through the Narrow Gate that leads to True Life? 2. Read beyond the mere soundbites to learn the Truth as taught by Jesus Christ. Without continuous submission and obedience of Jesus Christ's teachings and comments, what you refer to as Faith, it is impossible to please God. 3. Established on earth? And Hell is not a part of it? Did Jesus Christ know of this when He mentioned the two gates into the Kingdom in Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 , and when He spoke of what is to come when He returns in the glory of the Kingdom as King over Heaven and over Hell in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 ?? 4. It wasn't immediately after man sinned that separation happened. Instead separation from God took place only after God cursed mankind with separation for sinning against Him. So, we are not separated from God by sin but instead by the curse. For that reason , God sent Jesus Christ to redeem, offer salvation to man, from God's curse. |
