Why preach the Gospel?
The "true biblical" gospel of the grace of God is still the most powerful message on the earth today. In this world sinners are darkened and blinded by Satan who has influence over souls by lying about GOD. Satan supports a worldview that gives an illusion of safety and a false sense of acceptance with an unknown God. There are many false gospel's, one is that a "sinful" persons good deeds will earn Heaven. Another false gospel is that everybody will eventually be in Heaven whether they want to or not. Here is a recent quote from John Fitzpatrick that dispels this "Christ's death for everybody saves nobody" only those who use the will of the heart given by God and choose/believe in God and his Son with all their heart will be in heaven at the end of life's journey. True safety is when your soul is in the hands of the knowable Living God in Heaven, Christ Jesus our Lord who is God and mediator between God and man. Every moment of every day is only a step away from death so near on our brief course of existence in time. What is really the most important fact to know? Where my soul is going! God has put this future worldview in our hearts whether it be the world Heaven or the world Hell. It's inside our hearts and we find it in the truly inspired Holy Book of God. The preaching of the Gospel is how God is pleased to give eternal safety to sinners who come to Him through the gift of the LORD Jesus Christ and His payment for sin His own precious life blood. Free for those who gladly receive it, infinitely costly for Him who bought it, too expensive for any who try to earn it and not forced into the hands of those who do not care of it's value.
The Gospel of the grace of God
The Gospel is a message to be believed,received and obeyed that it might be well with your soul. The eternal destiny hangs in the balance what will you do with Jesus who is called Christ? He died for our sins according to the scriptures,was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures, and was seen. This is the prediction of prophets for over 4000 years that came true. This is the message that God asks man to believe. He cares what we believe about Him and His Son. God the Holy Spirit is convicting you right now about the sin of not believing in Jesus. Not trusting in His sacrifice for your sins. His blood is the only payment for sin no good works or repentance can take away sin but if you repent and believe in Jesus God will give you the forgiveness of sins, He will give you peace,He will give you a free conscience from guilt, He will cleanse your heart and justify you in His Son and set you free from the power of sin.
