The True Gospel

In today's Church system we seem to put time limits on God. We set a date for Revival to happen, a time for it to happen, and even choose a place where God will move. Although this is not necessarily wrong, it is not necessarily right either. God will move where the people will let Him move! He prepares the hearts of the people and when the time is right, just as it was in the Book of Acts Chapter 2 when they were all in one accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting, and they began to speak in cloven tongues and the Spirit gave the utterance. You see, God chose the place, the time, and the people where Revival would begin because He had prepared the people for it. It seems as though God has prepared the hearts of the people of LWM for Revival, for we see it breaking out right before our very eyes. New people are coming, News is spreading, God is doing mighty works. We are still in the Book of Acts Revival! I hope this message stirs your hearts and makes you yearn for Revival across our land and in our Churches today.

In culture we live in there seems to be as many gospels as there are Church denominations, yet we can only find one saving gospel message in the New Testament that was preached by the Apostles of Jesus. This message or I should say study is to help people better understand the original gospel message given to the Apostles by Jesus when He told them to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person. It also clarifies the mode in which all believers were baptized and explains the confusion often found in the book of Matthew in 28:19. I must say as well that baptism in and of its self can save no one, but I also must say that baptism is an important part of the gospel that many overlook. I hope this study is a blessing to all that listen.

There is only one Gospel message that will save us yet there many different gospels being preached today that is contrary to scripture. In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul tells us we are saved by the one true gospel, which is the death, buiral and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We may know this gospel but the question is, how do we respond to this gospel? The answer to that question is given to us in the Book of Acts. We respond to Jesus' Death by Repenting of our sins, His burial by being baptized for the remission of our sins, then as Jesus was raised from the grave, we to are raised to walk in newness of life by receiving His Spirit into our lives. I hope this message inspires and makes you really think about what that Bible has to say about Salvation.

We have been on a journey the last few Sunday's working our way through the book of Acts, taking a look at people who were saved by obeying the gospel message. What we have found is that the Bible has a much different way of presenting the gospel message than how it is presented today in our culture. Everyone in the Bible that was saved by Grace stepped out in Faith and obeyed the gospel message of Jesus Christ by Repenting of their sins, being Baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus for the remission of sins and recieving the Holy Spirit in order to walk in newness of life. We hardly ever hear this message preached today but it seems to be the only saving message that is found in the Bible.
