The simple gospel

This is such a liberating scripture whereby Paul once again reminds us of the simplicity of the Gospel – the Good News of Jesus Christ. There aren’t many hoops we have to jump through or things we have to do be saved. Salvation is not a list of things I have to do to obtain righteousness in God. The whole New Testament is based on what Jesus has done for us from love and our response to this Good News. Our response is set in two things and that is that we shall believe in our hearts, in our inner beings, that Jesus is Lord and if you truly believe the evidence will be in your confession, in your everyday speaking. But for anyone to believe in Jesus they need to hear of Him and have a personal revelation that Jesus is Lord of all, that He is God. Your faith in Jesus is not a “personal matter” it is the best news ever and you should speak boldly of this.

Do you believe that Jesus is Lord of all and Lord of your life? Can you and do you confess, speak boldly of, Him as your saviour?

Prayer response:

1. Thank God that you can know Him and that you believe in Him. Ask God to increase your faith.
2. Pray for personal boldness to confess, speak of, your relationship with Him to everyone and anyone. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you words to share with friends and family so they can hear the Good News and also believe.
3. Pray for three people by name that need to become aware of the Good News of Jesus. Pray that they will have a revelation of Jesus as Lord so they can believe in their hearts that they are justified from all sin and confess with their mouths to being saved.

*Pray for the salvation of those on your prayer list.
