Paul's gospel helps you understand circumstances and situations. Prior to Paul all these problems were solved by faith.
After the Apostle Paul, we no longer sit around waiting for God to pour out His HolySpirit and give us a great miracle, Romans 16:25
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Now we have a gospel that says Christ lives in us and He will never leave us or forsake us, Heb. 13:5
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So what is our problem? We have to learn Him. We don't know how to live with Christ in us.
It is whole lot easier to forget Christ in us and pray for God to give us a miracle.
When we do something on our own you probably feel better about it but you are ignoring the Christ in you.
The new gospel is "Christ in you the hope of glory," Col.1:27
God gets our attention about this new gospel and teaches us the Christ within by using circumstances and situations of this life.
Look at Romans 8:37
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Do you understand the person that is able to trust the Christ in him is a conqueror. Do we conquer all lifes problems, no. Christ becoming all in all is how you conquer.
If you understand that nothing can separate you from Christ and that Christ is a conqueror, then you are ready to live. You are ready to live with all the circumstances and situations life may bring upon you.
Look at another verse, Romans 8:36.
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Now that is something we did not know. No one ever told us we were counted as sheep for the slaughter when we walked down an aisle to get saved, knelt at an altar, gave our heart to God, or what ever it was we did.
If you are like me and had many troubles, then someone telling me all your troubles are gone now you found God son.
That was honey to my ears, the only thing wrong with that was when life got real again I didn't have a gospel that fit all the circumstances and situations in my life again.
Just saying everything is going to be alright when it feels like all hell is being unleashed on you, will not help you.
It's like the Ostrich that sticks it head in the sand when the storms of life are beating you to death.
You need a gospel that fits real life, and how to handle it.
It is Christ living the life in and through us, that is an important reality to understand.
