The Purpose of the Gospel (Romans 8:28-30)
Have you ever been embarrassed to say something about your faith because you were concerned about what others would think of you? In a world that often mocks the message of Christ, Romans 1:16 calls us to something greater. In this episode, we will explore how to remain unmoved and boldly share the power of the gospel in a desperate and hopeless world that needs Jesus.
How do you know if you belong to God or not? How do you know if you are in a relationship with the Lord? One of Paul's purposes in the book of Romans is to teach the answer to these questions. Since the wrath of God has been revealed from heaven and the gospel is […] The post The Heart of the Gospel (Romans 2:12-29) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
The Struggle of the Gospel (Romans 7:7-25)
In chapter 7 after a long interval with the ark isolated the nation laments their condition and appeals to Samuel for change. Samuel indicates that this could only happen if Israel with all their heart seek for God and utterly forsake the idolatry that had brought their ruin. When the nation does this Yahweh would be found by them. To potently demonstrate the Almighty's saving might Samuel, washes his hands and sacrifices a sucking lamb. This animal spoke of the nation's helplessness and dependence on Yahweh's protection. This occurs at Mizpah (signifying God's over watching protection). Next Samuel prays for Israel's deliverance from the approaching Philistine host and Yahweh of armies responds with lightning, thunder and an overwhelming hailstorm unleashed upon the enemy host. This led to the scene of victory overseen by the now to be named, Ebenezer (or rock of help). The chapter finishes by telling us that Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life and of him establishing his residence where his roots began, Ramah.1 Samuel 8 sadly tells of the failure of Samuel's sons to walk in his ways and consequently Israel's plea to be like other nations with an earthly king. Samuel remonstrates that this was tantamount to a rejection of God. Samuel outlines the huge cost upon the nation that such a choice would bring.Isaiah 52 reveals Jerusalem's exultation that would accompany the "good tidings" of her king with his liberating gospel message. Zion's watchmen would sing with joy at the "comfort (or consolation- Hebrew 'nacham') the Messiah would bring. The Lord Jesus Christ is the subject of these Servant prophecies and no more strongly than in chapters 52-53. Verses 1-2 call upon Zion to rouse herself from the dust to which she had been reduced by her oppressor. The Assyrian yoke had been broken from her neck. Verses 3-5 tell of her oppressors being firstly Egypt and in the time of the prophet, the Assyrian. Verses 6-7 describe Yahweh proclaiming liberty to the slaves in the good news: ie the Gospel. The words of verse 7 are quoted by the Apostle Paul as applying to all who preach the Gospel: Romans 10:5-21. Isaiah 52:8-12. Those verses speak of the condition of Jerusalem in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, with Jerusalem as its capital: Isaiah 2:1-5; Jeremiah 3:16-17. At that time Jerusalem will be cleansed and purified: Zechariah chapters 12-13. Verses 13-15 belong, in fact to chapter 53 and will be so considered tomorrow. Isaiah 52:13-15 describe Messiah as Yahweh's great servant being elevated after the humiliation of his crucifixion spoken of in chapter 53. He gospel message taken into all the world would cause kings and dignitaries of many nations being astounded by the message about the Messiah: our Lord Jesus Christ.Revelation 14 verses 1-5 shows the redeemed with their Lord on Mount Zion, the glorious Jerusalem of the kingdom age. They are like those spoken of in chapter 7 the 144,000 - the Israel of God. They are virgins as they have not been defiled by the Roman whore - her teachings and behaviours. The Word of God had penetrated their thinking to the extent that the Lamb's Father's name - Yahweh - was written on their forehead (compare John 6:26-29). Verses 6-13 deal with the message/work of the three following angels. The first angel spoke of the everlasting Gospel being taken to all nations. This message includes the acceptance of God as the Almighty Creator (evolution is a falsehood that people will forsake in Christ's kingdom). The second and third angels proclaim Rome's doom (that city is symbolised as Babylon). The system which has persecuted the faithful believers of our Lord for 1,700 years will be avenged at that time. Two judgments are outlined. Firstly, the "harvest of the earth" - Catholic Europe from where Rome has derived its temporal power. And secondly, "the vine of the earth" the centre of doctrine - or spiritual correctness.

What is the Gospel? Paul explains this good news in Romans 1, unpacking the truth that the Gospel is about Jesus; that all of Scripture centers on Him; that His life, death, resurrection, and ascension took place in real time in history; that these truths have been passed down through the apostles who witnessed and testified to these events; and that this good news is the hope of our salvation. The Gospel is the cornerstone of our faith, and the inevitable response from all who hear and believe is a joyful declaration of praise to our God, who saves.
This paragraph begins with a jarring truth declaration: God will repay each person according to their works (Romans 2:6). This is a repeated declaration that is made throughout the scriptures. The psalmist states that this is true. Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, […] The post The Pursuit of the Gospel (Romans 2:6-11) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
The Power of the Gospel (Romans 1:16-17)
In 2 Samuel 12 the prophet Nathan comes to King David after David had sexually sinned with Bathsheba and attempted to cover up the pregnancy by killing Bathsheba's husband and marrying her. So Nathan must come to David with a story about a rich man and a poor man. The rich man had a very […] The post The Kindness of the Gospel (Romans 2:1-5) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
When in Rome - "All About the Gospel" - Romans 1:15-17 The apostle Paul had a unique relationship with Rome, or more accurately, the church in Rome. In Acts 19:21, Paul declared, "I must go on to Rome!" This wasn't a sightseeing tour; Paul had a nudge from the Holy Spirit. In Acts 23:11, following his arrest in Jerusalem, the Lord comes to Paul. The verse says, "That night the Lord appeared to Paul and said, 'Be encouraged, Paul. Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the Good News in Rome as well.'"
We are looking at Romans 1 in which the apostle Paul is teaching what happens to us as humans and as a culture when we fail to honor God and give him thanks. Three times in Romans 1 we are told that God gives us over to our sinful desires (cf. Romans 1:24,26,28). In the […] The post The Destruction Without the Gospel (Romans 1:28-32) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
As Romans chapter 10 comes to a close we see the importance of the church responding in a missional manner to proclaim the truth of the gospel. For this good news is relevant for all people, in any culture, on any continent, during any time period. May more people hear and respond to the truth of the gospel because of our faithful obedience to share it with others!
We are coming to a text in God's word that is full of controversy and resistance. But we should not be surprised by this because of what the apostle Paul declared earlier in Romans 1. In Romans 1:21 we learn that when we do not honor God and give him thanks then we will become […] The post The Corruption Without the Gospel (Romans 1:24-27) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
In Romans 1:18-20 the apostle Paul has made a very important point regarding the gospel. No one has an excuse before God. There is no one in the world that can say on the day of judgment that they are excused from knowing God. Why? The reason why all are without excuse is because God […] The post The Exchange of the Gospel (Romans 1:21-25) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
The apostle Paul has begun his letter to the church in Rome by proclaiming to them the gospel. In the first six verses of Romans sets forward that the gospel is concerning the Son who descended from David and was declared to be the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead.

In this sermon, Pastor Mark answers the question:What happens to those people who die without ever hearing the gospel? He walks through Romans 5:12-21 with the students to answer this question by showing from the text what all human beings have inherited from Adam, and how it should lead us with us urgency to get the gospel to those who have never heard.

Romans 1:16-17 is the thesis for this letter. Paul is not ashamed of the gospel because the gospel is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes. But then Paul continues by saying that in the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith. Romans 1:17 has so much written […] The post The Faith of the Gospel (Romans 1:17) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel…” (Romans 1:16). It is a bold statement that I want us to think about as we begin this lesson. Paul was not ashamed of the gospel.

We ask questions to catch up with friends. We want to know what they're excited about. As Paul begins to close the book of Romans, he returns to "conversational" matters. But when Paul shares what he's excited about, it all revolves around what Jesus is doing through the spread of the gospel. This is Paul's passion, and it's clear that he believes it should be every Christian's passion too.
Paul has made the assertion that ALL humanity is justly condemned before God. Whether their lives were characterized by sin, whether they strived to do
Listen to what Paul says: “I am a debtor…” (Romans 1:14). We do not want to be debtors. We do not want to have obligations. We try to free ourselves from every debt. But this is a good debt.

The sermon addresses the fear of shame associated with sharing the gospel in a world that often misunderstands or opposes it. Through personal stories and biblical examples, it emphasizes the transformative power of the gospel for everyone. • Discussing the shame felt in unfamiliar situations • Historical context of believers in first-century Rome • Cultural contrasts between the gospel and modern narratives • The gospel confronts moral failings and proclaims the need for salvation • Personal testimonies showcasing the gospel's transformative effects • The gospel's inclusivity: for everyone who believes • Emphasizing the importance of boldness in sharing faith • The significance of understanding rejection in evangelism • Encouragement to live unashamedly in faith
Some call this the ascending order of salvation. These verses are the purpose to which God has called us in v.28. We know God can provide our need because He knows our need.
The gospel isn't something we do. The gospel isn't something we live. The gospel is an announcement of good news.
