Good morning beloved, happy Tuesday,
“But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
(Galatians 1:11-12).
The gospel is defined as the good news; It is a life changing message. Paul emphasizes that the Lord Jesus Christ revealed it to him. Paul was not one of twelve apostles, but his apostleship, like His message was from heaven without contradiction.
There are two gospels in the world: man’s and God’s. The former is what man must do to achieve salvation by his own good works or keeping the law. The true gospel from God is by grace through faith. Man’s gospel asks, what must I do to be saved? God’s gospel states what Christ has already done for us on the cross.
John wrote in John 1:12-13, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Man has always come up with his own way. Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Paul said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
May we live by the gospel, proclaim the gospel, and rest solely and securely on the gospel. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.
The gospel is the dynamite of God that brings transformation and salvation to lost sinners.
