Quotes About Gospel

Concern for the souls of the "savages" was part of the mission into Virginia. When this courageous band had been sent off from England, the Reverend Mr. William Crashaw reminded the colonists, "that the end of this voyage is the destruction of the devil's kingdom, and the propagation of the Gospel."19

Strange indeed that the immediate descendants of a Deist would have a Gospel text quoting Jesus' teaching on the resurrection on the alleged Deist's tomb!

The Exodus also = salvation; Egypt = sin; Pharoah = Satan; Moses = Christ; the Jews = the Church; the Red Sea = death; the wilderness = Purgatory; the Old Law = the New Law; the gospel; the old Mount (Sinai) = the new mount from which Jesus preached His "sermon on the mount" (Mt 5-7); and the Promised Land = Heaven. The "=" is not mathematical but symbolic.

Not all who listen, believe. If you call the Gospel a crazy fairy tale, a far-too-good-to-be-true myth, an insane extension of wishful thinking, or even a blasphemous lie, I will respect you and argue with you. But if you call it a platitude, I can only pity you, for that means you have never listened to it.

Rather than finding my identity in my relationship with God, I was finding it in my drive to do "good work." The more I dove into Scripture, the more I realized that I had been deluded. I had grown up drinking a dangerous cocktail–a mix of the gospel, the Protestant work ethic, and the American dream.

Lip service to Christian ethics was not good enough as an argument for this. Either the heart of the world must be changed by a real obedience to the gospel of Christ or Christianity must be abandoned for a new creed which would give better results between men and nations

When Paul talked about his present situation, he did not discuss his personal discomfort. He was not occupied with the inconvenience that imprisonment had caused him. His concern was for the gospel and its advance.

Like the many others who have suffered after him, Paul allowed his adversity to become a platform for the gospel. What the Enemy hoped would thwart the gospel actually advanced it. If for no other reason than this, we should think twice before we complain about our difficult situations. It just might be that God is up to something eternal!

Adversity promotes the progress of the gospel. 2. Adversity provides opportunities to witness. 3. Adversity produces courage in our fellow believers. 4. Adversity proves the character of our friendships. 5. Adversity provokes growth in our lives. 6. Adversity purifies our motives. 7. Adversity prepares us to see life and death in perspective.

Paul exposed this strategy in his letter to the Corinthians, saying that Satan has blinded people's minds, "lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" (2 Corinthians 4:4).

I look around me and see all the problems. I know people aren't living the gospel. I know they are too busy. The world is too loud. The sounds you hear in the hall or not the substance of love and kindness. I hear gossip, I hear spite, I hear fear. I do not hear the gospel. Except inside me, I can feel it there.

I have never been given these words in this way before. This small piece of gospel, three parts hosanna, two parts testimony, one part lamentation.

We will get home full of others people shame. What are we saying is what we did see. And what did we do? We acted blind and we moved on. That is not the gospel.

I'm not talking what you preach-- there is no practicing here. I am talking living what you preach. And to do that, you gotta preach what you live. I know what I'm here for And I know what the Lord is here for. The gospel. I will live and die by the Gospel.

When we tell people about salvation but say nothing about the Kingdom we are not preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.  If we present Christ without His Kingdom then we are sharing only half of the gospel.  Likewise if we present the Kingdom without Christ then again we are only sharing half of the gospel.  Jesus and His Kingdom are inseparable

The irony is that although the kingdom of God was the theme of Jesus' preaching, the message of the kingdom is almost totally missing from the gospel that's preached today. What's the theme of most preaching today? It's man's personal salvation, isn't it? It's not the kingdom of God.

The irony is that although the Kingdom of God was the theme of Jesus' preaching, the message of the Kingdom is almost totally missing from the gospel that is preached today.  Let me ask you: what is the theme of most preaching today?  From the sermons I hear I would have to say the theme is man's personal salvation and that has probably been your experience as well. It's not the Kingdom of God.

Things like that gave me the first glimmering of the universal female gospel that all good traits and leanings come from the mother's side.

For we are not saved by believing in our own salvation, nor by believing anything whatsoever about ourselves. We are saved by what we believe about the Son of God and His righteousness. The gospel believed saves; not the believing in our own faith.

The believed gospel saves; but it is the believed promise that assures us of this salvation.

There might even be the sound of the gospel, but it seemed to contain no glad tidings at all. It did not come from warm lips to startled ears as the message of eternal life – the glorious gospel of the blessed God (1 Timothy 1:11). Men lived, but their minister never asked them whether they were born again!

But as even the internal evidences of scripture would be insufficient to support their authority without the concurrence of external evidence, so would the external be found wanting without the internal. But these together are abundantly sufficient to establish the credibility of this gospel, which is, like every thing else of the work and wisdom of God, the wonder and admiration of the believing soul.

1) The gospel (the good news about Jesus' death and resurrection) is not merely the power by which dead sinners are raised to new life, it is also the power by which God's people are transformed. The gospel is not merely the starting point from which we move on to ethics; it is the heartbeat of our lives as Christians. That

Yet if we search our hearts honestly, most of us would probably find in our thinking about ourselves and in our presentation of the gospel a struggle over how to keep those biblical truths in balance. By nature, we are each drawn towards an unhealthy emphasis on either the walls or the river. Only
