What is most important in our lives and in our Church.
THE GOSPEL is of first importance and is foundational. Don't get distracted by other things.
Hold fast, the impact of the Gospel, good news of victory.
Historical truth, Christ died, He was buried, He was raised, He appeared.
These things all prophesied in the Old Testament.
Christ (Messiah) died for our sins - the purpose of His death was to take the judgement of God for our sin.
Yes the bad news is our sin which is defiance against God, but God sent His Son to die in our place offering forgiveness through repentance and faith.
Our identity is what Christ has done for us, nothing of our doing all of Him.
Romans 8 vs.18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
1 Corinthians 15 vs.58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
It is about Jesus, God is seen in Jesus.
