The One and Only Gospel of Jesus Christ

Today we continued our study of Corinthians and we looked at the first part of the 15th chapter. Most people like to call this the definition of the gospel. My Outline consisted of four simple points--1. The Prediction of the Gospel (we looked at prophecty) --2. The Process of the Gospel--3. The Evidence of the Gospel--4. The Practice of the Gospel. The last few verses of this passage helped to make things practical. In verse 8-11, Paul speaks of how he was the least of the Apostles and the most unworthy, "but by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain;" Paul was transformed by the Gospel. He went from persecutor and enemy of God to the greatest influence for the cause of Christ in the New Testament. It was by God's grace. God's amazing grace is the gospel. My vow is to be a gospel preacher no matter what. My goal for our church is that we are a gospel church and no matter what else we do we preach the Gospel. We may disciple, give counsel, teach doctrine, etc. , but we must always be proclaiming the Gospel message amidst everything else we do. Paul, here, emphasizes the Gospel. May we also go forth proclaiming this glorious message wherever we are.
