The Importance of the Gospel

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
If you know Christ as your savior then He becomes #1 in your life. The Gospel is important and it must be faithfully proclaimed.

The Gospel is for saved believers and He was us the share the Word with those that are non-believers in the hopes that they will change their mind and choose salvation. Matthew 28 tells us that we are to proclaim the Gospel.

Think of those who are lost and who will remain lost if we don't share the Word of God. We aren't called to keep our faith quiet - share the joy that the love of the Lord brings you!

The Gospel is to be believed. Christ died for our sins - He willingly shed his blood for us because He loves us. John 15:13 - Jesus counts us as friends, how amazing and wonderful is that!?! He came here to Earth specifically to save us. What a gift he has given to each and every one of us as believers!

Salvation is deliverance. Jesus gave us that as a gift when he died and was buried and then raised again.

We must worship God, not just on Sunday, but ALL THE TIME! Let God's light shine in you - show the world what the Gospel has done for you. Believe in ALL that God tells us so that you may share it wholeheartedly - lead others to the salvation that you have already secured for yourself!


Finally, the Gospel must be received. You must accept the Lord as your savior so that you may be entitled to all the things he has promised us.

The Lord sent us His Son and His Word to ensure we life our lives in a way that is pleasing to him - give His message the attention it deserves; read it, live it, share it!

Keep the Word alive - it must be Preached > Believed > Received and we each must be willing to take a stand. Take a stand for what is right and for what God wants us to do. Always choose Jesus, obey God over man for his gifts are eternal and things of this world so rapidly pass away...
