A false understanding of the gospel hinders the believer from living in the fullness of God's grace. The gospel can be fully realized only by living by grace, acting in faith toward God's truth and rejecting the lies of the world.

The message of reconciliation has been entrusted to us as we serve as ambassadors for Christ. Constrained by the love of Christ we can serve with unwavering faithfulness in the face of opposition and affliction.

Knowing that God has prepared you for eternity gives confidence in the transient life we now live.

The ministry of the gospel rests in the power of God to change hearts and to transform God's people into the likeness of Christ from one degree of glory to another. This is a slow work not often manifested externally and is often met with opposition and persecution. The believer trusts God to accomplish His purposes through the gospel, and therefore refuses to lose heart.

The heart of the gospel is the Lordship of Jesus Christ and its transforming effect is the outcome of the Spirit of the Lord.

The sufficiency and glory of gospel ministry is not the ability and skill of men but of the Christ of the gospel.

The ongoing, mighty work of the gospel in the life of God's people is the manifestation of Christ's triumph over the power and the bondage of a sinful world. Christ Jesus moves through the course of time and space as the victor and ruler of all creation.

Because sin robs the believer of his joy in the Lord, spiritual accountability is essential in the Spirit's ministry of sanctification. Spiritual accountability calls for the loving unity of the saints to speak the truth in love.

Paul calls three witnesses to the defense of his apostleship and the motives of his actions.

The suffering and afflictions of God's people are answered by the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
