For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:

Rom 1:16 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.

Good morning readers, and I hope this days post will find you well and looking forward to another glorious day that the Lord God has extended His grace and mercy to this earth that we may tell others. What do we have to tell others about you may say? The love of God, the warning of the judgement of God, the longsuffering of God, and above all else 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Friends we are to be occupying this earth until the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ, that one day when the trumpet sounds we shall be caught up with Him. This occupying is to be busy, we are to be proclaiming the gospel to every nation, tongue and tribe under heaven. Now when I read this passage this morning I have stated it before, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Well just of emphasis I will repeat it again..the gospel of Christ. You see I believe that there are some afraid to explain the gospel in the truth of the matter and just so I am clear here is my belief of the gospel...
1. Christ was the Messiah, born of a virgin. (notice I didn't say a young lady, or young woman,
no friend the bible was pretty clear a virgin.)
2. Christ lived a sinless life in the flesh, tempted as we were tempted yet without sin.
3. Christ was nailed to the cross on Calvary, shedding His blood for the sins of the world.
4. Christ won the victory over death, hell, and the grave.
5. Christ went to the grave having His body laid in a tomb.
6. Christ rose again on the third day in the flesh, and ascended to heaven after forty days being
seen of many.
7. Christ is seated on the right hand of God the Father, until that day when He shall return in all
power and glory and reign forever as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

Now friends be not deceived as all those that speak of the Lord Jesus would have somewhat against what I said because they do not agree with that as the gospel message, no instead they preach another gospel. We have heard of the prosperous gospel, the gospel that only applies to a certain class of people, the gospel of works, and even that tainted gospel of election. Some big theologians and even great TV personalities won't even preach the whole counsel of God, they will dodge and turn around every corner when it comes to this message afraid of what the Lord has said concerning this. The gospel is a whosoever gospel for in the following versus we see Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Now when I say that some would not preach the whole counsel of God, let us examine the verse following Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. You see friend its not about how great I can be, or how much money I can make, or what things I do, and believe it or not there is NOTHING that I can even say to make you or myself feel any better to make it sound like the gospel. Here then is the point I am trying to make, there is a choice, and that choice is of free will, today you have the opportunity to stop and read for yourselves whether this be true or not. The world says "there is a way" emphasis on the word way, for there are many ways to do things....but the Word of God says in John 14:6 Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. If we look to those that proclaim a false gospel there are those that also will not even preach what we deserve (Hell) and do no justice to the gospel message, that those who don't believe are condemned already, you see they don't want to bring up the fact that it was Jesus who did this for them, no instead they are putting their faith in how good they can be, or what type of experience you can have with the Lord. The only thing I remember is that I was a sinner in need of a Savior, I accepted that fact, and when I came to that point and place in my life and confessed to the Lord Jesus Christ my sins and asked for repentance and accepted His atoning sacrifice on the cross, did I receive forgiveness of my sins and received Him as my Lord and Savior that I may have everlasting life. This message is for you today friend, for you know not the day, the time, or the hour that the Lord would return, what would He find you doing today? Wherever on this planet you may read this, I beg you to consider your ways, and look at the biblical way to what I have said and accept that free gift of salvation, that I may rejoice with you in heaven.
