GOD WANTS HIS CHURCH TO BE TAUGHT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST

I've been at home for a short while now, I haven't been working and so most of my time is spent studying and writing. The best part about this time is that I have some time to fellowship with the Father and it's a unique and beautiful experience. While i was studying, the Holy Spirit made me understand that this is a time when the Father wants His church to be taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am very thankful for the minister of the Gospel and his wife and co-minister who have given themselves wholly to equipping the saints of this church age. They teach diligently and with clarity (you may want to follow the ministry online, www.gospelofchristministries.com). The Father wants to beautify His church in this church age and He can only do that through the Gospel. This may sound a little offensive but alot of christians have ignored the gospel of Christ and have established a different system of doctrine and yet using bible scriptures to back themselves up. Alot of non essentials have been included in the church without God'sapproval thus causing the church to remain at an immature and stagnant stage. It's absurd to say the church experiences stunted growth because of teachings not founded on the cross of Jesus Christ.
 The Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation (Romans 1:16). It is the revelation of the righteousness of God made available to us in Christ. It is not dependent on performance or merit but on His unconditional love for us. The Gospel is God revealing to mankind His redemption plan that was foreordained even before the world began in the election of Christ to be the propitiation of our sins. The Gospel reveals the desire of the Father to establish a Father-Son relationship (not gender implied) between Him and mankind and it was something He alone could do which He did perfectly in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is God reconciling Himself to mankind in Christ Jesus not imputing sin on them. Jesus was made incarnate as man and not just as any man but as the Man representing man and God in Himself at the same time (Ephesians 1:4, 1 Peter 1:20). His crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, session was with us and as us. He forever lives to make intercession for us as our faithful High Priest who is truly God and truly man. He died our death so that we might live through Him (Colossians 3:3, Galatians 2:20). This is God in every way and His ways are perfect. We are beyond accusation because we are in Christ (Romans 8:1). God Himself said He will never remember the believer's deeds of unrighteousness any longer. He can never lie and so it can never be broken or revoked. We are the righteousness of God, sanctified, redeemed, adopted, regenerated as a result of what Christ did at the cross. God loves us so dearly, He is for us and no one can be against us we have been made His sons. We have become joint heirs with Christ and we are partakers of the divine life.
These are mysteries God had hid in Himself but is now revealing them to us by His Spirit so that we can know and be established in the full assurance of understanding His love for us. He has taken an oath about our total wellbeing and prosperity and He will not fail us. God decided to reveal these mysteries to us through sent ministers of the Gospel (i m priviledged to be taught by one of them and you are always welcome to join us either through live streaming or by coming to our church). God has done so because He wants His church which is the Body of Jesus Christ to be established in their identity as sons begotten of God in Christ Jesus. The Father wants us to grow in knowledge of the person and finished works of Christ and to behold His in the face of His Son Jesus Christ. God wants His church to be taught so that we don't use life's circumstances to measure His love for us but we should rest in His love to face life as victors. With this view our victory is assured because He will never put us to shame. God wants His church to be taught because it is easier to access His blessings freely given through thanksgiving. He wants us to know we belong to a race that has never existed before the cross, we are spirit and beyond human. We have been endowed with the quaity of the life of God and His is our only origin.
Brethren, you may not have been concious of this 'in Christ' realities and you desire to be taught by the Holy Spirit. All you need to do is acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus by praying this prayer of Salvation;
"Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He died on the cross and shed His blood for me. I believe that He was buried and on the third day, He was raised from amongst the dead. I believe He ascended on high and is seated at Your right hand. I acknowledge with my heart and confess with myt mouth that Jesus is Lord! I receive the gift of eternal life into my spirit.
 Amen!!!
