God's Truth - Helping You Navigate a Course to a New Life in Jesus Christ

DISCOVER THE GOSPEL

The Gospel according to Christ - NOT Human Tradition & Religion

A. The Gospel as Taught by Christ - Did we learn the Gospel (Good News) from personally reading the Bible, or did we hear it from Human Tradition? Mark 1:14-15 (NKJV) Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” If we are not reading the Bible for ourselves, but listening to others choose verses to justify their theology, aren't we following Human Tradition? Matthew 15:6-9 (REV) You have set aside the word of God because of your tradition. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying, these people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Moreover, in vain do they show devotion to me, teaching as their doctrines the commandments of men.”

B. Taught & Nourished in Christ - God's Spirit teaches and guides us from outside THIS world, directly to our heart. Isaiah 48:17 (NET) This is what the Lord, your Protector, says, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you how to succeed, Who leads you in the way you should go. It is easy to turn our faith into a "cookie-cutter" formula with religious creeds or theology that ignores God's call for truth, accountability, and personal repentance. Luke 5:31-32 (REV) Jesus answering said to them, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

C. A Battle of Good & Evil - Our world is in a battle between God and Satan – between good and evil. Pain, illness, death, and sorrow are the result of Satan's Curse of Evil, which is why God (Yahweh) sent His only son, Jesus Christ (Yahshua), to destroy the devil's work. 1 John 3:8 The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. Christ tells us to rely on Him to fight the evil of THIS world and to let Him work through our surrendered lives. John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in Me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from Me YOU CAN DO NOTHING.
