The Power of the Gospel

The Power of the Gospel – When you know Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, then you know the most important work.

1Co 2:2 for I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

1Co 2:3 I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling,

1Co 2:4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

1Co 2:5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God.

There was a great demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit because the message was concerning the Gospel. The Holy Spirit responds to the Gospel message more than any other message.

The Gospel saves

Rom 1:16 for I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

This Gospel saves us in every area of our life; body, soul, spirit and mind. It saves our soul, gives physically healing, it puts to death our old nature, heals our brokenness, heals any emotional hurt, delivers us from all evil spirits, sets us free from any addiction, sets us free from lack and poverty and gives us the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as our strength to live the Christian life and serve God. It also gives us a new nature when Christ was resurrected. This is why the preaching of this Gospel is for Christians as well as the lost until we are complete in Christ.

The message of the Gospel produces faith

Rom 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?”

The Gospel message in Isaiah 53 is the central message that produces faith to believe in complete salvation. It is no coincidence that Isaiah 53:4-5 are the very center of the Bible. This is how we know that the Bible we have is the true Bible and others with added books are not true.

Rom 10:17 so faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. The word of Christ in this passage is Isaiah 53. This word produces faith.

Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

Ephesians 2:13 but now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

The message of the Gospel transforms lives

Luke 4:18 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO BRING GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED

The preaching of the Gospel produces miracles

Mar 16:15 and He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Mar 16:20 and they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.

Satan wounded by the Cross

Gen 3:15 and I will make enemies of you and the woman, and of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise Him on the heel.

2Co 2:11 so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

We overcome the devil by the crucifixion

Rev 12:11 and they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

Rev 12:12 for this reason, rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you with great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.

The center of the Bible and message

Isa 53:4 however, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, and our pains that He carried; yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, Struck down by God, and humiliated.

Isa 53:5 but He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; the punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.

The message of the Gospel puts the devil under our feet

Luke 10:9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

Luke 10:18 and He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to walk on snakes and scorpions, and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.
