We thank God for the spreading
of the gospel. I am talking about
THE GOSPEL, the only gospel,
the one true gospel given to us in
the Scriptures where it is so stated
and recorded. I am being bold in
this. Some people say their preach-
ers preach the same gospel, but a
little differently. I answer that by
saying, “Do you read the Bible, do
they preach out of the Bible?” We
can only get together if we preach
out of the same Bible; we can only
get together if we are preaching the
same message. We are trying to get
that difference established around
the world. It is in my heart that the
gospel of Jesus Christ is to be short
lived in this world—it is the last and
final gospel.

What then is that gospel? It is the
gospel given to us by the Apostle
Paul. People often say their preach-
er is not preaching that gospel. Paul
plainly says if anyone preaches
any other gospel than that which I
(Paul) preach let him be accursed
(Galatians 1:8). We must pray for
them that they come to the revela-
tion of the mystery which is: Christ
in every born again person and that
is their true hope of glory (Colos-
sians 1:27).

If Christ lives in you and you came
to know him through the message
of a living Christ in a human be-
ing, then it makes a lot of difference
in where you go with it, where you take it, what message you hear, what
gospel you hear, where you go with
that gospel you hear. That’s why we
think we are so much smarter than
the Bible. We think we are some-
body because we are so intellectual
and walk in our own wisdom. We
do not have our minds in the Bible.

Get your mind and your eyes and
your nose into the Bible and study
Paul’s gospel, the gospel of Grace
not commingled with law. I am se-
riously talking to you because time
is short. Get into the one true gos-
pel.
At least 146 statements made
by Paul say “in Christ,” “in Him,”
“in Whom,” and that puts you into
another world—Christ’s world. Is
Christ your world—your every-
thing?

We have calamities in this life
because we are not following the
preaching of Paul. There are many
worlds we are put into such as sick-
ness, problems with our business,
with our family, with our financ-
es—many different worlds we must
deal with.
Trust the Lord for how to
handle sickness, disease, and suf-
fering. But you cannot treat that
as your world. Gospel power is not
your world. Your ability to do things
for God is not your world. Are you
going to let Christ be your world
and are you going to be part of it?
You were put into Christ. It was His
intention that all the other worlds
you live in would be set aside.

Your world is “IN” Christ Jesus.

Why do you think God put Jesus
in you? For example, Christ is the
only healer. I started out preach-
ing that if you went to hospitals
you were not a Christian, but that
changed because whoever was in
charge of me took me to the hospi-
tal and the Holy Spirit had to teach
me differently. There he taught me
that I was in a place where I could
trust God in another way. The doc-
tors were going to take care of me
and I told the doctors that I was
going to trust God that they could
take care of me.

This world that I live in today is
Christ. I have been translated into
the kingdom, this world, of Christ.
I may have all kinds of problems,
but this is my world in Christ. I
have to get that fixed in my mind
because that is not an easy con-
cept to understand. You notice the
things that are happening in this
world and you have to realize you
are a Christian and you do not live
in this world. That is what we have
to tell the world—what a Chris-
tian is, and why.

We are Christians
locked into Jesus Christ. Every day
is Christ’s day. He has something
good for you every day. Carry Jesus
into the different worlds you live in:
the sickness world, the workplace
world, your family world, the eco-
nomical world. Trust Him as to
how to handle each world.

I like the definition of Chillingworth: "The Bible and the Bible alone is the religion of Protestants". (From the 17th century, or thereabouts.)
