The Gospel

Today I was reminiscing and was quietly reminded that I am a living breathing Gospel Here is my heart on the matter of the Gospel: Before I was blessed to be part of an excellent program called NEXT, my answer to the question, What is the Gospel? Would have been something like “I don’t know”, or John 3:16. Now, if someone asked me, I may say something like this; I believe the Gospel is not only John 3:16, the Romans Road, or something shared with words, scripture, a little prayer etc...The Gospel is that Christ died on the Cross bearing all our sins so we could be forgiven now, and live our lives as forgiven and set free NOW not just when we die. To me the Gospel is also very much something we share by living it, living as forgiven. living “in” Christ! Sanctified already!!! Christ covered ALL of our sins from the time He cried out: "It is finished" Jesus is the living example for us as believers, and so, we should be living examples for others. John 1:14 say that the word became flesh (Christ) So essentially Jesus’ life was Gods word living and active! God uses peoples lives as signs of Him, and what He is doing like Hosea, His life was a living breathing sign of what was going to happen with the destruction Israel. And in our walk with the Lord, We can be living breathing “Gospels!" What a neat testimony it would be if in the end people could say "Wow! In that persons life, the Gospel became flesh."
