Title Gospel Virus
Contents
The world is now shrouded in fear and anxiety with the swine flu.
Swine flu, which started in Mexico, is now threatening the world.
Treatments come out, new vaccines come out, mutated viruses come out, and new measures are taken, but they keep spreading. Some even foresee a catastrophe for mankind.
I hope that this virus will disappear as soon as possible. How can I say it!
It is enjoying a tremendous ripple effect that governs an era.
-. The world's alternatives don't work.
Even at the time of the Early Church, new ideas and events were spreading just like a virus spreading in the world.
These words came from the love of God.
God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to show the way of salvation.
but a lot of people are against it
Eventually, Jesus was crucified.
How to restrain God's love and the gospel of Jesus Christ The alternative they came up with was death on the cross.
But since then, the gospel has spread more and more.
Matthew 27:64 Therefore command that the tomb be secured until the third day. His disciples will come and steal the body, and say to the people, "If he says he has risen from the dead, will the temptation afterward be worse than before?"
Temptation - The spread of the words and thoughts of Jesus Christ and the gospel of God.
Acts 6:7 And the word of God continued to prosper, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased exceedingly, and a great multitude of priests obeyed this way.
Acts 9:31 So the churches of all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria were in peace, and they went on strong, and proceeded in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and increased in number.
As the gospel spreads and spreads, more than 1.2 billion people in the world now say that they believe in Jesus Christ and are Christians.
As the gospel continued to spread, King Herod's alternative at that time was to kill the leader of the church.
He thought that if he killed the leader as he killed Jesus Christ, the number of followers would be reduced.
He killed John's brother James and tried to kill Peter as the Jews liked him, so he arrested him and put him in prison.
oppression, oppression, imprisoning and killing of believers
However, these methods and alternatives could not prevent the spread of the Gospel.
worldly ways
Hebrews 11:36-37 Others were not only harassed and whipped, but also tried in bondage and imprisonment; they were stoned, sawed, tempted, and killed by the sword, and wandered in sheep's and goats' skins and wandered into poverty, affliction, and abuse. Received (the world is not worthy of such a person)
Because there were people of faith that the world could not bear, the gospel is being preached today.
James was slain and Peter was imprisoned
Many Christians who sacrifice and invest themselves for the gospel, give and dedicate themselves, and live for the glory of God rather than themselves. Say you are a person of faith.
- The beginning of the Gospel, Jesus Christ
The gospel begins with Jesus Christ.
The Lord came to the world to save sinners.
Didn't Satan and the devil tempt Jesus to interfere with the Lord's work?
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, deserving of acceptance by all, that it is said that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Among sinners I am chief.
However, the more the gospel is preached, the more the gospel of variants is also spread.
Wherever the gospel goes, the mutated gospel virus also parasitizes.
Another Gospel - Antichrist
Gal 1:6-8 I marvel that you are so quickly departing from him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different gospel, which is no other gospel, except that some are disturbing you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. Cursed is even an angel from heaven if he preaches any gospel other than the one we preached to you.
1 John 2:18-22 Children, this is the last time, and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so many antichrists have arisen now, therefore we know that it is the last time. 22 Who is the liar who denies that Jesus is the Christ? Is not he the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son?
There are many cults and cults in the world. Do they have an alternative to life?
The tree cannot last long unless it begins with Jesus Christ.
If you do not stand firmly on the rock of Jesus Christ, you will inevitably fall.
- Alternative to Gospel Virus: Prayer
when Peter was in prison
12:5 So Peter was put in prison, and the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
I was bewildered by an incredible miracle that I could not believe even after praying.
Peter's chains were released and he was able to get out of prison.
The Lord releases our spiritual chains and even our physical chains.
Mark 5:1-20 Healing of a demon-possessed man in the region of Gerasea
Even if a person possessed by a demon is tied with chains, it is cut off and the furrow is filled

But after meeting Jesus, he became a preacher of Jesus 20. He went and told the Decapolis how great Jesus had done for him.
