We focus on the eternal gospel.

 

 

Consider Revelation 14:6:

'Then I saw another angel flying in midair,

and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth

—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.'

What is the gospel?  The gospel is about the Son of God

(Romans 1:2).

It concerns the birth of Jesus (v. 3), His death, and His resurrection (v. 4).

The gospel is the virgin birth of Jesus Christ

(Matthew 1:18).

Jesus, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin,

and crucified to redeem our sins, is the gospel

(Romans 1:4).

And the resurrection of Jesus from the dead on the third day is the gospel (v. 4).

The humanity and divinity of Jesus are the gospel (vv. 3-4).

The Apostle John refers to this gospel as the 'eternal gospel'

(Revelation 14:6).

The reason is that Jesus, who is the eternal life, is the eternal God

(1 John 1:2; Ref.: Romans 16:26).

We are those who are chosen for this gospel (v. 1).

Therefore, we must proclaim this gospel to everyone,

whether they believe in Jesus or not.

We should not be ashamed of the gospel

but should spread the gospel of Jesus Christ,

which is the power of God

for the salvation of everyone who believes (v. 16).

This is because we owe the debt of the gospel to all people (v. 14).

Do you and I truly believe in the power of the gospel?

Are you and I not ashamed of the gospel?

Are we actively spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ?
