the gospel is concerning the Triune God dispensing Himself as life into man

The center of Paul’s gospel is Romans chapter 8, which is concerning the Triune God dispensing Himself as life into all the three parts of man to fill man with life! In Romans 8 we have the Father, the Son, and the Spirit (v. 9-11) who is God the Triune for the purpose of dispensing Himself into man! Firstly, God enters our spirit (v. 10) then He saturates our mind, our soul (v. 6), and then He enters our body (v. 11) giving life to every part of our tripartite being! This is the center of the gospel!

the five main mysteries in the universe

Every thoughtful person living on the earth has – at one point in time – been puzzled by the mystery of the universe, the mystery of man, the mystery of God, what will happen in the future, and what is the church. Does God exist? How does He look like and what is He like? Why is man on the earth – here today and gone in a few years? What does our future hold, even after death?

the gospel is the answer and the key to the five main mysteries in the universe

God’s desire is to have many sons to express Him corporately; this is the gospel!

The gospel of God is focused on the Son of God and on God’s desire to have many sons – it is the gospel of sonship. Everything that God does is for this purpose – to have many sons who express Him corporately. Paul served God in the gospel of His Son (Rom. 1:9), and the gospel of God is concerning His Son in His humanity and divinity (Rom. 1:1-4). Sonship includes everything: designation to be sons, resurrection, justification, sanctification, transformation, conformation, glorification, and manifestation! This is Paul’s gospel, a gospel of sonship (Rom. 8:14, 29; Gal. 3:26; 4:7)!

the focus of the gospel is sonship

It is so easy to have a natural understanding of the Word of God and think that the book of Romans, the gospel of God, speaks about God’s condemnation, man being justified, our sanctification, and even our glorification – since these matters are thoroughly dealt with and expounded. But the focus of the gospel is the matter of sonship, for which we need transformation, conformation… continue reading via,

Paul’s gospel is a gospel of sonship – God’s intention is to bring many sons into glory

from God’s condemnation to the local churches, the entire book of Romans is Paul’s gospel

Paul’s gospel is the complete gospel and the basic gospel, speaking of Christ as the Spirit becoming one with us to be everything to us! Actually, Paul’s gospel is a Person – he preached Christ crucified, and he ministered Christ to people. Paul received the revelation of Christ in a personal way from God Himself, and he spoke of the Christ he has seen and enjoyed! Paul’s gospel is a revelation of the Triune God processed to become the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit (see 1 Cor. 15:45, 2 Cor. 3:17, Gal. 3:2,5, 14).

the gospel is the Triune God being our life

Too long have we been under the influence of the low gospel preached in Christianity in the past. We may have been saved by such a gospel, but according to the Bible the complete gospel is not only something like “believe in the Lord so that you will not go to hell but go to heaven” – no, the gospel is much more! More,

Paul’s gospel includes the entire book of Romans, from God’s condemnation to the local churches

the basic truth of the gospel is that we are justified out of faith in Christ

The fourth great pillar in the Lord’s recovery is the gospel, and the preaching of the gospel is the speaking of the truth. For us to preach the gospel in an effective way, we need to know the truth in the Bible. In the book of Galatians we see the basic truth of the gospel, which is mainly that fallen man cannot be justified out of the works of law but out of faith in Christ (see Gal. 2:16). No flesh is justified out of the works of law – we are justified positionally and in life through our organic union with Christ!

justified not out of works of law

The truth is the reality of the gospel, and the book of Galatians affords us a complete revelation of the reality of the gospel in basic principles. The first aspect of the truth is that fallen sinful man cannot be justified by works of law… continue reading this portion via,

learning to be happy cross-bearers and not suffering criminals under the cross

We have seen that one of the keys of the kingdom of the heavens which we can exercise is denying the self by exercising our spirit to build up the church as the Body of Christ. A second key is taking up our cross (Matt. 16:24) – willingly taking up the cross – and following the Lord. Yes, you can say that the cross is a matter of suffering, but the Lord Jesus was not “forced to suffer” but rather He chose it! This morning I was so impressed that we shouldn’t be suffering criminals bearing the cross but happy cross-bearers, those knowing Christ in His sufferings through the power of resurrection (Phil. 3:10)!

the cross being God’s will

What is the cross? Is the cross a hard situation or a difficult spouse? If we read the New Testament we will see that the cross is actually God’s will – the will of God is the cross that the Lord Jesus and we ourselves need to take up and bear. Not doing our own will but His will – this is the cross. Continue reading via,
