SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS
Galatians 1:1-5
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:
5 to whom (be) the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Everyday we are bombarded with news. The TV, the internet and the radio
Is full of news each day that is often bad, incorrect and negative. What makes the headlines in the nightly news on TV many times is tragic events.
Believers have a source of Good news that is good news all the time. The
Good news is Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, The Good news is that
He is in control of all events and every circumstance in our lives.
It is the world events that distract us from the constant good news in our lives. If we focus on what is evil, tragic, what is unfair we lose sight of the
Good news. The good news is God can make all things, the evil, the tragic and the unfair work in our favor,
Rom 8:28
28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, (even) to them that are called according to (his) purpose.
God has a purpose for bad news in our lives. What appears bad maybe designed to work good for us,
James 1:2-4
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;
3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.
4 And let patience have (its) perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
Instead of complaining, look first for the good God is trying to perfect in us.
We have the good news the world cannot understand. Since we trust Jesus, we can be sure that God has us in mind when the evil, the bad and the unfair happens.
We should never expect that there will be times when all is well for any’
Length of time. Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes are the signs the Jesus
Is about to return for you before He judges the world
Mark 13:8-10
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail. 10 And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.
We must first know the word of God for ourselves. We have a great teacher which is the Holy Spirit ( John 14:26) There is no substitute for studying the word. Spend time with God
After the Apostle Paul’s conversion on the road to Damasus he did not immediately begin preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. According to Galatians 1:18, he went to the Arabian desert and spent three years, perhaps realigning himself with Jesus Christ. He had been taught the’
The traditions of the Jews. He may have studied the scriptures for himself
To know the Jesus the jews rejected.
It is the believers job to study for themselves to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Each of us have to dig into the scripture for ourselves with help of
The Holy Spirit to gain an understanding that is not based on the popular words of others. We cannot teach what we don’t know for ourselves.
Our job is to tell everyone we meet about the hope in Jesus Christ.
He has made a way for all who believe in Him to enter the kingdom of heaven for eternity.
The good news is God is with us and will take care of us through all circumstances.
The Apostle Paul starts the letter with a word of encouragement to the
The church, believers like you and me from the Lord. His prayer is that we have the grace of God and the peace of God. Grace is an undeserved favor. Christ stepped out of heaven, became flesh and blood so He could
Die for you and me as a payment for our sins.
Because of Christ’s death we can live in peace with the Father. We have
The responsibility to repent of our sins. But Christ gave us the promise of forgiveness. If we chose to live a life for Christ, protection from the enemies of the world is guaranteed. We will have problems but Christ is with us through them.
We have been rescued from this present age of evil. We live in it to bring the good news to those who don’t know Christ.
Three things to remember when we awake each day
We have the good news of Jesus Christ in our lives, who saved us to proclaim His goodness to the lost. We have access to all the blessings of God. Prayer is the answer.
Because we belong to Jesus, we are under His protection, provision and guidance.
No weapon formed against us can prosper Isa 54:17
Whatever we need He will provide
We put our trust in Him and He will guide us along the path of righteousness. The will of God controls our lives
3. God is bigger than all our problems and in control of all our
circumstances and has saved us for an eternity with Him
