Thursday, October 16 A Gospel That Is Not For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. (1 Peter 4:6) The gospel of Christ, is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. The Gospel has sometimes been reinterpreted in ways that take the heart out of it, and out of us. Liberal and rationalistic thought is based on the shifting sands of biblical criticism, and philosophy. No assured grounds for the frightened millions have ever been offered by this new thought. It is a theology of chaff for those hungry for God. Too many scholars have made truth depend on questions that can never have any certain answers, doing nothing for lost nations and devil- stricken masses. If God is the only Savior, He cannot save by a message of perhaps or if or it is my opinion. The world needs people with a live link to heaven! For all people, cultured or primitive, there is one word of truth - the Cross - to the wise, the barbarian, the Greek, the Jew. The Gospel is the power of God. The Gospel preacher is an ambassador demanding surrender to the kingdom of heaven. It is Gods ultimatum. He shows us the way things are. The Gospel is neither a theory nor an abstraction, but the reality behind everything. We either recognize it, or perish. When you grasp what I am saying here, then you join the army with the battering ram of the Word and of the Cross. It will pulverize the strongholds of the devil. It is the thundering drum roll of Gods invincible army on the march. When God filled me with His Spirit and opened my lips to speak with tongues, He opened my ears to hear the triumphant blast of the trumpet announcing that Jesus has all power in heaven and on earth. What a gift! Be certain that the Gospel you follow is one of life and power.
