Do we have a view of the gospel that is less than full? Do we even have the same view of the gospel that the disciples had?

 

There are Two Dynamics of the Gospel:

l

I. The power of the Gospel.   Romans 1:16

     Power is "Dunamis" in the original greek.  This is the same word we get the word dynamite from. This is not a gradual process but is instant and exposive.

 

II. The purpose of the Gospel.  Ephesians 2:1-10

     Workmanship means literally "a work of art".

 

* the full gospel saves us from works and also saves us to work. A salvation that has no works is not the full gospel at all.

 

Food for thought - Revelation 2:1-7 - How do we lose our first love? You lose your need of that person (Jesus). How do we recognize this problem in our lives? By asking ourselves how we treat others.

 

How will the power of the gospel impact your life today?
