One gospel
A new gospel, is this what is needed in our world today. Has the “grand old gospel” failed us. These are questions that hungry, sincere believers are asking today. Everywhere, we see different gospels preached that seem to be contrary to the way that the Spirit is leading many truly hungry hearts.
Often there seems to be a different gospel for every ministry, and multitudes are being deceived by them. There can be only one true gospel from our Father.
There can be only one true message brought by the Holy Spirit. Yet, those who claim to hear from God seem to say different things. Hungry hearts are left to discerning, on their own, what truths they are to follow, as if the Scriptures never give a distinct sound or bring a clear message.
It is not a new gospel that we need. The “grand old gospel” has not failed us. In fact, most believers do not even know what the “grand old gospel” is.
It is an unbelievable fact that the Bible, which has been the most read book in history and is the very life-line of every true believer, still holds the basic truth of the gospel, but the average believer is oblivious to its message.
Modern believers are constantly diverted from the truth of God’s message by seeking their own answers, instead of God’s purpose, in the Bible.
While God’s Word is dedicated to meeting human need, it’s far greater purpose is showing forth God’s purpose in mankind. God’s purpose in mankind is for Him to find a people to fill His house and train those people in His kind of love.
So it is not a great revival that we need. It is not the winning of more souls that we need. It is not human success with God that is important. The problem of Christianity is much more acute than this. The real problem is in the gospel that we preach.
Now, the true Gospel must, most of all, be based on God’s ultimate intention for man. The first chronological mention of man in the Scriptures is in Ephesians 1:4, where Paul says man was chosen to be in Christ, before the foundation of the world.
That means the first thought God ever had concerning mankind, as far as the written record goes, was that believers would be in Christ. I see this as God’s prime and ultimate intention for man.
To ignore the importance of this is to pervert the gospel and that is what many have done today. If you do not start with this primary “God idea,” every other place you start to understand God will be lacking. The believer “chosen in Christ” is the only foundation that the Father and the Scriptures build upon.
Most in religion have failed to realize this. Keeping believers from understanding is Satan’s main objective.
