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.
"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!!!
Amen!!!
