Truth That Changes Lives on Oneplace.com

The gospel is good news! It's a mesage of salvation, hope, forgiveness, God's love, truth, and transformation!

God's calling people. God loves people. God wants people to accept this message. God wants people to be forgiven. It says in 2 Peter: 3 "God is not willing that any should perish but that all shall come to repentence."

You know the gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of grace. The word gospel is the Greek word euangelion; it means good news. It's the good news of God's grace, the good news of God's forgiveness. The good news of God's salvation in Jesus Christ.

How do we have joy? When we focus on knowing Christ, loving Christ, and when we focus on loving people.

We need to have relationships that are truly authentic with one another. We share the good, the bad, and the ugly so that it gives people the opportunity to get on the same page and show concern for us.

It's our attitudes that are robbing us from the peace that God wants to give us and joy is a result of peace. So we are not experiencing peace nor are we experiencing joy. Why? Because we have bad attitudes!

We experience joy when we follow God's plan for peace.

We understand when Jesus comes back He is going to come back to rule and to reign and to set things right. He will wipe away every tear!

We experience joy when we have an eternal expectation that motivates present conviction.

We need to value knowing Jesus Christ above everything else.
