The GOOD NEWS: The Greatest Crowd Puller🏆 The GOOD NEWS: The Greatest Crowd Puller!
The GOSPEL can also be referred to as the "GOOD NEWS". But what is this "Good News" about?
✝ It's obviously about the unconditional love and grace of God expressed through JESUS CHRIST in His death, burial and glorious resurrection.
📖1 Cor 15:1-4
📜1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
📜 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
✝ The Good News is the message of "PEACE WITH GOD" (the greatest desire of the ages; see 📖Job 9:33) which was made possible ONLY by Jesus Christ!
📖Romans 5:1 (MSB)
By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us--set us right with him, make us fit for him--we have it all together with God BECAUSE OF OUR MASTER JESUS.
It is upon this premises that Apostle Paul wrote, saying: 👇
📖Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel (Good News) of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes..."
🤷🏻♂😁🤩 How could anyone be ashamed of this!?!
🤷🏻♂😁🤩 Are you kidding me!?!?!
👉 What man LONGED for (FELLOWSHIP with God), for ages, was NOW MADE POSSIBLE...
👉 What mankind LOST (RELATIONSHIP with God) in the Garden of Eden was NOW RESTORED...
👊 And it was God (The Father) Himself who restored it through His Son Jesus Christ.

🤷🏻♂😁🤩 How could anyone be ashamed of this outstanding and privileged opportunity!?!?! 🤷🏻♂😁🤩
PLEASE, right now, I need you to KINDLY READ these masterpiece epistle 👇
📖Romans 1:18-20 (The Message Bible/MSB)
📜 But God's angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth.
📜 But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is!
📜 By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse.
Paul’s purpose in writing 📖Romans 1:18-20 was to explain WHY the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
The problem was that THEN, just as NOW, most people (especially Ministers) felt the way to get others to come to God was to CONDEMN them and SCARE them out of hell. If Jesus and the early apostles never did that, why should we? 🤷🏻♂
Frankly speaking, people DOUBTED that Paul’s good news of THE LOVE OF GOD would be ENOUGH to cause REPENTANCE.
What they didn't know was that there was not enough SUSTAINABILITY in FEAR. It lacks the ABILITY to establish truth. Since people naturally FLEE because of fear, they FLED at the Good News because it communicated fear as well. When truth is presented through fear it loses it's original power and purpose which is to "MAKE FREE" those to whom it is intended.
❌ Fear (intimidation) cripples TRUTH; it waters down reality and destroys the effectiveness of its creative intentions.
❌ Fear, which is the WOMB in which CONDEMNATION and REBELLION is born, is the worst means or medium of expressing or communicating the TRUTH (especially when if that truth is the Gospel of CHRIST).
Everyone eventually builds RESISTANCE against FEAR but it is not so with LOVE. No one builds RESISTANCE against LOVE. No one wants to be AFRAID (that is, live in fear) but everyone wants to be LOVED.
It is an innate (inborn) desire of every living person. We're are so by default. It is what drives us into relationship and fellowship with each other (the desire to love and to be loved in return. I call this "The Balanced Equation Of Love"). It is who we were wired to be. And this is what GOD appeals to by His Spirit each time we preach the Gospel (Good News).
Therefore, Paul began to prove that every person already has an INSTINCTIVE KNOWLEDGE of God’s wrath against their sin.
Not even the worst sinner can deny this reality. His conscience bears him witness, attesting to the fact that for every CHOICE made (consciously or unconsciously) there is a corresponding CONSEQUENCE.
📖Romans 1:32 WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Did you notice something? 👆
They already KNOW the judgment of GOD against both the practices of evil and the perpetrators of such practices (which is enough to scare anyone) YET they engage themselves in it nonetheless.
Can't you see that FEAR couldn't get the job done? INTIMIDATION failed to achieve God's purpose which is man's repentance from his evil deeds and submission to His divine Will. The weakness and helplessness of the FALLEN NATURE was fueled by FEAR.
So, you see, we don’t need to PROVE God’s wrath; He has ALREADY DONE that. That's what it means to be called into the "ministry of reconciliation".
📖Isaiah 53:7-11 (MSB)
📜 He was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn't say a word. Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered and like a sheep being sheared, he took it all in silence.
📜 Justice miscarried, and he was led off--and did anyone really know what was happening? He died without a thought for his own welfare, beaten bloody for the sins of my people.
📜 They buried him with the wicked, threw him in a grave with a rich man, Even though he'd never hurt a soul or said one word that wasn't true.
📜 Still, it's what GOD had in mind all along, to crush him with pain. The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he'd see life come from it--life, life, and more life. And GOD's plan will deeply prosper through him.
📜 Out of that terrible travail of soul, he'll see that it's worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones, " as he himself carries the burden of their sins.
What people NEED TO KNOW is the good news that God placed His wrath for our sins (ALL OF IT) upon His own Son so that we could be COMPLETELY FORGIVEN.
Our FORGIVENESS in Christ Jesus:
❌ Is NOT PARTIAL;
✅ It is COMPLETE
✅ It is ABSOLUTE
✅ It is TOTAL &
✅ It is FOREVER!
📖Isaiah 53:6 (MSB)
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost. We've all done our own thing, gone our own way. And GOD HAS PILED ALL OUR SINS, EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE WRONG, ON HIM, ON HIM.
📝 THIS GOOD NEWS will draw people to God more than the bad news will ever drive people to God.
📖2 Corinthians 5:21 (MSB) How? you say. In Christ. God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
✝ Let's Tell THE UNTOLD
✝ Let's Reach THE UNREACHED
GOD BLESS YOU BY ALL MEANS IN JESUS NAME 💘
