For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
The apostle Paul was one of the boldest men in history when it came to preaching the gospel of Christ. You might ask, “What exactly is the gospel of Christ?” The gospel (good news) of Christ is more than the fact that He came and died to take away our sins in order that we can be joint heirs with Him in heaven, someday. The gospel of Christ is that Jesus, being risen is alive today and we can fellowship with Him daily if we will enter into the Kingdom of God through a relationship with Him and having a spirit of obedience.
The gospel of Christ is not just for when we die so that we don’t go to hell. The really great news, the fabulous news, the incredible news is that He lives in us! This is what Paul called the mystery of the Kingdom; Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) The only way we can experience God’s glory on earth is through Christ in us. It is the simplest of messages with the most profound consequences. Everything we could desire to obtain in the spiritual realm is freely given to us in Christ Jesus.
Don’t bother trying to wrap your mind around that concept. Wrap your heart around it and let it consume you. As John the Baptist said in John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As we are consumed, we become less of what we were and more of that which has consumed us. Jesus Christ is our all in all. (1 Corinthians 15:28)
