As we are waiting earnestly for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, brethren, let us all watch carefully so that we will not be derailed from the actual truth. Jesus only is the subject of our message, and the Gospel is the message of salvation which was accomplished by none other person but Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:8-9 says, “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
Now, I want you to get the real message very clearly, what we preach is that:
1. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. What this means is that everyone have fallen short of what God demands, which means no one is able to keep the law on his or her own.
2. for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, Romans 6:23. What this means is that because we cannot keep the law, everyone is suppose to die, and this death we are talking about is not just the physical death, but it is eternal separation from God.
3. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, Romans 5:8. Which means, because of the love that God has for us, He has to send his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to come and pay the price for our sins, as we see in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
So, what is happening now is that you don’t have to focus on any other thing, or how to keep the law because you cannot do it on your own. Your focus now has to be ONLY on JESUS CHRIST, because he is the only one who can take you through the laws of God. That’s why all we are preaching is that people need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal savior.
Therefore, understand that, when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, you’ll be able to fulfill the law. Romans 10:4 say, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Which means, everything now ends in Christ, and when you have Jesus Christ, you can now do all things through Christ which strengthens you, Phillippinans 4:19, and there is no more condemnation for you, because, you have passed from death into everlasting live.
N/B: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (NIV) says, “Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you have received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” Remain blessed.
