(Welcome to my website: valentinedavidar.in)
Acts 16:10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Preaching the Gospel involves not only delivering the content of the Gospel but also ensuring lasting change in the lives of those who hear it. Gospel sharing is loving people.
Let us look once again at the substance of the Gospel. I Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, (2) by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. (3) For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (4) and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
The Gospel consists of three sections. The first is the death of Christ, the second is the burial of Christ, and the third is the resurrection of Christ. To receive the Gospel, a person, by faith, must die with Christ, be buried with Christ and rise with Christ.
This is the explanation of baptism. Romans 6:3-4 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? (4) Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
The Great Commission sends us to go and make disciples and baptise them. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
The task of disciple-making is to guide people to identify with the death of Christ, be buried with Christ and to rise with Christ, all by faith.
Dying with Christ means that we no longer live for ourselves but for Christ. II Corinthians 5:15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. / Colossians 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. / II Corinthians 4:10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
The second step in receiving the Gospel is burial with Christ. Burial is between death and resurrection. What is burial with Christ? The example is Paul. Philippians 3:4-9 though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: (5) circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; (6) concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. (7) But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. (8) Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ (9) and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
We must continually interpret the application of the burial of the flesh into our lives.
The third part of the Gospel is to be resurrected with Christ. In Christ, we are a new creation. II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. We are now endowed with the new law of the Spirit. We were earlier under the law of sin and death. Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. / Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
This new law of the Spirit, of the resurrection of Jesus, gives us victory over sin in our flesh. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
We will look at the lasting change of the Gospel tomorrow...
