Why The Gospel? by Nobody: 2:24pm On Oct 08, 2016
The gospel (good news) of Christ is more than just glorious. All that Christ is, died for, and rose again, now sitting at the right hand of God the father, is what the good news is all about. I would say the word 'good' news has not truly been able to fully described the essence of the finished work of Christ this past centuries. I guess it's quite safe to call it 'the BEST (superlative) NEWS.'

Hey, don't tell me the gospel of Christ is not glorious or enticing in itself. If it's not enticing, gracious, and glorious with all splendor, why will "...the god (Satan) of this world blind or has blinded the minds of them which believe not?"
He does so, to deprive or prevent "the light of the GLORIOUS gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, to shine unto them." (See 2 Cor. 4:4).

In knowing this bible truth, one is literally empowered to not stop preaching and representing the gospel (good news) of Christ to the world.

I, Precious E. Erhauyi is simply saying (just like Paul), "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation (soteria) to every one that believes..." Rom 1:16. God bless y'all richly.

What makes you so sure that this gospel you're preaching is true?
Re: Why The Gospel? by Nobody: 12:34pm On Oct 09, 2016
The gospel of Christ is so true and glorious with all splendor because 'I am a living proof.' Trust me when I say so!

Would you devote your entire life to Islam because a muslim on the Internet told you that he is a living proof of the gloriousness of Islam?

The answer y'all seek is in my exposition:

I, Precious E. Erhauyi is simply saying (just like Paul), "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation (soteria) to every one that believes..." Rom. 1:16.

The Greek word translated salvation in this context is 'soteria' which simply means:

Thayer's Definition: G4991

1. Deliverance, preservation, safety, salvation
2. Salvation as the present possession of all true Christians
3. Future salvation, the sum of benefits and blessings which the Christians, redeemed from all earthly ills, will enjoy after the visible return of Christ from heaven in the consummated and eternal kingdom of God.

The finished work of Jesus Christ has much more to offer, of which I am most blessed/privileged to be a partaker of the inheritance wrapped up in the revelation of the Word of God, and not just in the letter!
