Paul's gospel must be accepted

[newnature]

Paul’s gospel must be accepted, it must be believed today, and you can be sure that confusion concerning that gospel through the use of a counterfeit gospel; a gospel that looks so much like Paul’s gospel that you’d not know the difference, if you didn’t clearly know Paul’s gospel, will be Satan’s focus in this age of grace.

One of Satan’s purpose in this age of grace is to confuse Paul’s gospel with a gospel so nearly to it, and there are many people out there today saying all you have to do is to believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and you’re saved. They believe this in almost every church across the board that Christ died, was buried and rose again, but what do they believe was accomplished by that death, burial and resurrection?

In their minds, they were separating themselves for God by their sin, and Paul is saying that God has already reconciled you where your sins are concerned. God is reconciled where the sins of the world are concerned, because he imputed those sins to Christ, that all who would believe what he imputed to Christ, that that resolved the sin issue forever, and are now joined to his son and have his righteousness freely counted to them, or imputed to their account.

Paul called it the ministry of reconciliation, Christ fulfilled the law for us, so we are identified with the righteousness of Christ the moment we take God at his word, obedient to the faith, concerning what Christ accomplished on our behalf. Today our service comes not out of apprehension to any of those things; our service today comes based solely on our appreciation for what Christ has already done.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Paul's Gospel dealt with the peripherals.

The true Gospel is the one the twelve, and later, the eleven apostles preached and it was only three words: A Promise Fulfilled.

It was punctuated by their witness of seeing and hearing and touching a dead man come alive and out of His grave/tomb. That was the gospel the apostles preached. Everything else about Jesus Christ were secondary. The primary was God has kept His Promise (Gen. 3:15).

This is the gospel Paul preached ! Our LORD Gospel !
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:


1Co_1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

Now He had many other teachings for thos born into the family of GOD , to grow and walk in our spirit !

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The problem is ? few will allow JESUS to LORD over them ! He only wants the best for us and to be able to reward us one day ! He see the future and knows what is best for us Always! That where our faith comes in trusting Him even unto death !

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

We Must and Do give ourselves to Him at salvation ! We then belong to Him 100% !We give Him the right to use us as He wills !

1Co_9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

Consider this passage in 1 Corinthians 3:

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? 5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

The 66 books that make up our Scriptures have been divinely preserved for 2000 years against all odds. And they all contain a cohesive message and a manual for our daily lives here on this earth and beyond. Read all of it, let God the Holy Spirit guide us supernaturally to comprehend concepts that we so often arrogantly think we could understand on our own.

Hello spirit1st.

Agree with what you stated in your post.

You said; "the bibles like a great puzzle it only fits together perfectly one way !"

The puzzle is unlocked only through and in Jesus Christ.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.


John 3:17-18
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world,
but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes
in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged
already, because he has not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.


John 3:36
He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not
obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.


John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes
in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes
in Me will never die.


John 17:3
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

 

[james1523]

Paul's gospel and beliefs. Some quite different from the status quo in Christianity today. A very anointed apostle, used much by Christ to impact the gentile world. Who follows his gospel now? Very few.
Some clear differences: Christ focused, Christ in you hope of glory, not I who live but Christ in me.. He stressed the importance of the inward life in the spirit, not outward keeping of traditions, laws, regulations.. grace not law. Freedom in Christ not religious bondage. The inner law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus (spirit of the law), not the law of sin and death (letter of the law). His goal in life - to be conformed to the image of the Son of God, to be approved by Christ at His coming, to be found worthy.
"in Jesus name" - who we are in Christ , one with Him, not a prayer formula.
Not going to heaven when we die for eternity.. we go to the New Jerusalem on Earth for eternity... Paul was focussed on the goal of the new jerusalem.
No tongue speaking in church without interpretation, it's a matter of love and respect for others.
Head coverings for women please, as a sign to show the holy angels present that you respect God's ordained government and authority in the church.
No female preachers, thankyou..because man was created first, not woman.
No divisions - Paul does not approve of ANY denominations, sects, movements, clans, partys, divisions. You have no right to divide yourselves based upon whether you keep sabbath or not, whether you eat meat or not, whether you use wine or grape juice or not. If you divide yourself you are still carnal, fleshly, babes.
Paul only believes in one church in each city..with elders appointed by the apostle.. not one worldwide church (e.g. Roman Catholic, Anglican), and not congregationalism. .eg house churches...not many churches within one city.
Paul does not appoint church elders or leaders based upon their theological qualification, but based upon their spiritual maturity.
Paul does not conduct church services and lead from the front, nor organise anything.. he encourages every member to stir up and use their God-given spiritual gifts for the edification of the body and meet together regularly to break bread in simple fellowship and unity.
He's an apostle but he won't tell you what to do. He expects you to seek the leading of the Holy Spirit yourself individually and in fellowship with the brethren.
Paul is not interested in social programs, activities, church games, the number of people your church has or how much money .., his main interest is that you know the depth and heights of the love of Christ, that Christ be formed in you, that you be perfected into Christ...he only cares if you are growing in Christ or not.

An excellent presentation of the Gospel James1523.

I think you covered all the points James, well done.
