What is the gospel of Christ? What is Jesus known for? You
will understand and appreciate the Lord more when you know the platform of His
teachings. Jesus was sent by God with a message for the liberation of mankind.
And this post tells you what the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ is all
about.
For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life – John 3:16 (NKJV)
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and
truth. And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the
law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ –
John 1:14-15, 17 (NKJV)
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for
us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? – Romans 8:32
(NKJV).
The gospel of Christ is the gospel of the Love and Grace of
God. Jesus came with a message of love and grace, and these two ingredients
change the way of life of anyone who receives them. They make it easy for you
to live a victorious life on earth. Man was struggling to obey God, defeat the
devices of the enemy and enjoy life until Jesus came. Christ came and brought
hope and victory to man.
Gospel of the love of
God
The heart of man is deceitful and desperate wicked (Jeremiah
17:9) and so incapable of loving people without an atom of selfishness. This
made it difficult for man to relate well with themselves. This was not the original
nature of man. Man was created in the image of God and had the nature of God
until sin came in through Adam and corrupted him.
So, God for the love He had for man sent Jesus to help man
out of his predicament (John 3:16). Jesus died and rose again for the
redemption of man (Matthew 20:28). And while on earth He preached and showed
the love of God to humanity. Now we can love God and man because God first
loved us – 1 John 4:19. Read more...
