Romans 1: 16-17. King James Version (KJV)
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
My dear fellow believer in Christ, in these verses, we can be confident that the gospel of Christ must be preached in every corner of the world because it gives essential salvation to mankind.
However, not many preachers also know the gospel of Christ is full of the power of God, and it does not consist of man’s wisdom. Therefore, we should not feel any embarrassment when we are called to preach the word of God to unbelievers because of every disciple of Jesus Christ must-have the presence of the power of God to support his preaching ministry, otherwise, we aren’t really chosen by God to be an evangelist or preacher. Many fake preachers we have today are preaching to the congregation without the power of God’s presence because they aren’t chosen by God, but chosen by themselves or others. Churches have been evading away from the defense of the gospel when facing oppression from atheists because they can not show the power of God in their sermons.
So, what is Christian faith all about? It is about the righteousness of the almighty God. However, without obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we simply cannot claim that we do have such faith. Nowadays, many fake preachers profess that Christians don’t need to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ because Jesus died of our sins. But this is also a false assertion that even though Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, what he always teaches is to obey him to conform to the image of Christ, to depart from evil, to learn from his humbleness, and to follow him.
Any fake Christian who insists not to depart from evil is a liar because he didn’t know God so he cannot obey God. Faith is full of obedience to God’s instruction, otherwise, faith is no longer consequential. If we profess that we are truly born again children of God, but can’t obey our father, then we are still sinners whose father is the devil, not God. Anyone who sins willfully is the child of the devil because the devil sins against God in the first place.
Finally, what's the most significant aspect when we try to preach the word of God? It is to be absolutely convinced that we are chosen to serve God in the discipleship of Jesus so that we might have the power of God in preaching.
And it is a matter of biblical fact that every disciple of Jesus Christ not only preaches but also casts out the devil and healing of sickness and shows amazement of the evidence of the power of God like Elijah, Moses, and Jesus.
