Title Why Is the Lord Enough?
Contents
(Romans 1:1-12), the gospel
→ The Son of God, Jesus Christ!
. Why is Jesus Christ the Gospel?
. Why do we receive the gospel distortedly?
. Basic concept definition → Gospel, reality of heart, faith (best?)
#. Gospel ? GOOD NEWS
. Longing for the Gospel? Wish-fulfillment-type good news (possession, wish, power, appearance, academic background)
Problem-solving type good news (all problems in life, disease, family, debt, relationship)
But the question is, what's wrong with shouting and asking with the above expectations?
If so, are all the things that solve the above problems the gospel?
. Did the gospel that God said to have given really give this gospel?
→ The reality is very different. If you look at its existence, you will find the answer.
. If we ask the question whether this gospel is temporary or permanent...
. Is our longing for the gospel we desire temporary? Is it permanent? Is this the true gospel? will be a question about
. Partial & Fundamental, Relative & Absolute.....
. Popularity we think ? It is only the whims of sinners.
→ The real tragedy is that the happiness we enjoyed is not permanent.
. So, what is the real gospel? It must be permanent, fundamental, and absolute for anyone to become the true gospel.
→ Then, are we preaching the right gospel and are we hearing the right gospel?
. But in our being, we hate such a true gospel.
→ What if there are members of the church who are raised in such a shepherd?
→ Realize the essence of the gospel!
Luke 2:10 “The angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will come to all the people.”
-. In this way, humans possess a longing for something eternity. This very heart was already poured out by God when he created man.
→ “Glorify the gospel” because this gospel is the gospel of eternal life.
. It's not that people don't change because they lack miracles. This is a human problem, not a simple problem.
. So the power of the gospel? It is our reality to see it as a sign or a miracle.
. As such, there is always a conflict between the gospel we want and the gospel the Lord gives us.
→ Everyone agrees with this statement in their heads. But in existence it is rejected. I know for sure, but I have this heart that I can't leave. How do I do this?
. Because there is such a serious problem in our being.
. We like these amazing contradictions.
. So, what is the gospel from God? Good news of great joy (Luke 2:10-11)
→ That is Jesus Christ, the Lord is eternal, fundamental and absolute.
So the results of the gospel are enormous. You must not become a deceiver of souls who preach the gospel that God does not allow.
“Illegal missing child custody period” - Finding the parents is the gospel!
#. Believers' response to the gospel
1. Ignorance (how many times are you preaching the gospel in 52 weeks a year?). can you explain? Have I changed that much?
. Acts 18:24~28 - Apollos preached the gospel with zeal, but his gospel was a powerless gospel without a cross. However, after hearing the true gospel through the Priscilla couple, he heard the word of God's way and spoke the word that gives the benefit of faith. That is, they do not know the way of the cross that testifies that Jesus is the Christ.
. What is the essence of the gospel? Christ on the cross, agreed with knowledge but not real
Matthew 16:18 “And I say, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not overcome it.”
John 5:39 “You study the Scriptures thinking that you have eternal life, and this Scripture bears witness about me.”
→ A response to the gospel (v. 40, but you do not want to come to me to have eternal life)
Why is that? (Because there is no way to go without “discipleship”...)
Luke 9:23-24 "And he said to the crowds, "If any man will come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will save it." ”
2. Ignoring the Gospel? They don't try to follow their existence.
Birth --------------- Rebirth (reception) ---------------------Death
. So, what is the gospel to us?
. Interest in 'The Way of the Cross'? What is reality for us?
3. It doesn't matter
→ I can't deny it, but I'm not very interested. Is this a possible life of faith?
. Titus 1:16 “They confess God, but in deeds they deny him, an abomination and disobedience, all forsake of what is good.”
→ Act heretics are the greater evildoers of the church. The abomination, the disobedient, the very ‘reaping what you sow’
*. God's weight in the gospel
. expression of the gospel
a. Value side (John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Romans 8:32) - Final confirmation
The greatest theme of praise sung in the kingdom of heaven is Jesus Christ.
→ Jesus the Lamb, the Passover Lamb (Cross), this is the theme of the Book of Revelation!
b. Scope (Rev 14:6, 2 Tim. 1:9)
→ The eternal gospel, and therefore its effect is also eternal. The heart of God that has been contained since before the creation of the world is contained in the cross.
→ The perfect gospel from eternity to eternity
→ There is no other gospel. Only the gospel of the cross is the only way to salvation.
c. Range of Efficacy (Target)
Matthew 24:14 “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (to the ends of the earth, to all nations, to all people...)
d. Recording scope (Luke 24:44-48)
e. The authority of the gospel (Romans 1:1-9)
→ The Gospel of God, the Gospel of His Son
→ Then, do we receive God's approval and deliver?
2 Corinthians 4:4 “The god of this world, among them, has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ cannot shine through, for Christ is the image of God.” - The Gospel of the Glory of Christ
f. The purpose of the gospel (Acts 10:36)
→ The Gospel of Peace with God
→ The word that restores all things (2 Corinthians 5:17-19)
. The very purpose of receiving the gospel was to be entrusted with the gospel of God, the gospel of peace.
g. Qualifications of the Gospel (Acts 20:24)
→ The gospel of grace has nothing to do with our handling.
Therefore, if you truly believe in the Gospel, changes are inevitable due to the Gospel. After hearing this great gospel, nothing happened! This, on the other hand, would cause God to faint.
Hallelujah! The Lord did it!!!
