Romans 1:16 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…
Each time you hear the gospel of Christ, you are hearing God’s good news
for you. And the Bible tells us that the gospel of Christ — the good news
that God wants all men to hear — is the very power of God for your
salvation, not just from hell, but also from illnesses, financial lack, harm, a failing
marriage — every aspect of your life that needs saving!
You may say, “Pastor Prince, I’ve heard the gospel of Christ, but it seems like I
am one of those whom the power of God has missed.” My friend, when you hear
the gospel of Christ, do you really believe it? You cannot just understand it in your
mind. You must know and believe the good news in your heart, and then you will
see that it is the power of God for your salvation.
But what is the good news that God wants you to know in your heart, which
will release the power and salvation of God into your situation?
“For in it [the good news] the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to
faith...” (Romans 1:17) The good news is that you are the righteousness of God in
Christ, which you receive from faith to faith.
This means that this righteousness comes because you have faith in His blood,
not your good behavior, to make you righteous. It is from faith to faith, not faith
to works, or works to works.
The good news is not preached to show you what is wrong with you. It is
preached to show you what is right with you because of Jesus’ work at Calvary, in
spite of what is wrong with you!
There is nothing left for you to do to earn God’s blessings for your life. You
only need to hear and believe the all-encompassing saving power of the gospel of
Christ to heal you of diseases, preserve you from danger, bless your finances and
bring well-being to your family.
The world may say that the good news is too good to be true. But for those of
us who are the righteousness of God in Christ, the good news is so good because
it is indeed true!
