So then the gospel, or rather the true gospel is available for all to find. The question that needs an answer is do we want to be like a wise man who builds his house on the rock and when the storms came his house was left standing. Or do we rather like the defence strategy the ostrich uses. It sticks its head in the sand thinking that if it cannot see whatever is hunting it, it must be safe. I have made my choice.
Now all that is left is to get to grips with the gospel...
What is the gospel and why did God give mankind the gospel? This may take some time but like a son once asked his father, how was the great city of Rome built, he simply replied “one brick at a time my son.” Therefore we will need to carefully unpack this wonderful truth.
But for now I would like to summarise and then we can break it down one section at a time. If you would like to responded or challenge what I pen. Feel free to drop me a note and we ought to discuss it. But remember that our point of reference must be the infallible word of god, the Bible.
A good place to start would be with the character of God; God has neither beginning nor end. He is constant. It is impossible for him to lie. He is perfect and because he is perfect whatever He requires from man must therefore also be perfect. We may question that but we have imperfections and therefore we must all conclude that our opinion carries very little weight as we are imperfect. He is righteous and therefore is always right. He is love and therefore manifests His love toward mankind by sending his Son (Jesus Christ) to pay the price for sin. He is a judge and will judge all things. He is the creator. Jesus Christ understands life and its hardships because He lived as a man and yet without sin. There is more, but enough said.
Then we will consider creation and the entrance of man. Then sin, its judgement and the penalty sinners will pay. Then finally the way of escape that God has afforded all those that will repent and believe.
Signing off...
