Gospel Transformation

Romans 1-4 

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’”

Romans 1:16, 17

The power of God for salvation and the transformation of our lives is not found in self-help books, the latest exercise or diet craze, or financial plan. The power of God to save us from ourselves and every addiction prevalent today is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We experience that power of God as we understand, experience conviction of our need, and by faith respond to the gospel. The gospel begins with God’s good command to “be fruitful and multiply”. Sin has blocked our ability to live into that command. The gospel is more than sin-management. It is God’s way to restored relationship with him and with others so we can be fruitful and multiply.

“Lord Jesus, I receive your gospel again today and invite your life to flow through me in fruitful multiplying ways, for your glory.”
