The gospel reveals man’s state

KEY SCRIPTURE: 1Timothy 1:11 KJV” According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”

Apostle Paul in the previous verses reveals that the law works in those who have rejected the gospel, and so death works in them.The gospel shows us that. , the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus.The man without christ according to the gospel is dead unto God.That is the reason the sinner does the works of sin or the works of death.The gospel , God’s power to save, heal and to stabilize man in every way comes as a result of believing the gospel.Rom 1:16 KJV” 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.”

Apostle Paul says this good news is committed to his trust.He says woe is he if he does not preach the gospel 1st Corinth 9:16.Paul by his commitment to the gospel demonstrated that he had indeed been entrusted with the gospel, He testified of his position concerning the preaching of the gospel in Rom 1:14,15 as follows:I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Apostle Paul faithfully accepted the trust God the father placed in him, and so went about sharing the gospel everywhere he went.Dear one, now Paul is no longer around , you and I now have the button to run with it as fast as we could.Our world is more sophisticated than it ever was Technology is at its peak.We have more simple avenues to reach multitudes than we’ve ever had.We have to maintain a faithful walk with the Lord and use every good means to save as many as we can. If you are a child of God, stop showing just your face on social media and use that opportunity to share a thought about salvation, even how you were saved.You have no idea how many lives would be touched with your personal testimony .Tell us how your life was, before accepting Jesus.Secondly talk about how you were saved.Thirdly talk about your present state, the great change that has taken place in you. Please, we do not have enough time ,Say as Paul said, woe is me if I preach, not the gospel.”.The first disciples of Jesus were so successful, although they lived under a more crude and hostile environment than ours , yet they conquered.Act 17:6 KJV “And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;” What a testimony.May it be said of us that we are the men that have turned our world upside down for Jesus

THOUGHT: WE HAVE RECEIV3D SO MUCH, AND WE SHOULD’T FAIL THE LORD
