Acts 19:20, “In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.” Never before has the gospel spread faster and more effectively across the world than right now. Like in the book of Acts, the gospel net is spreading wide and growing by the power of God. Just in the last few…

Galatians 1:6-7, “6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of…

1 Thessalonians 2:4, “On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.” Other than Jesus, Paul is the most significant person in the New Testament concerning the gospel.

Isaiah 53:5, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” The gospel, which is, the good news concerning God’s glory and humanity’s salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, didn’t start…

Mark 4:14, “The farmer sows the word.” The four responses to the gospel are based on the four kinds of hearts Jesus mentioned in Mark 4:13-20, which are; (1) Rejection: from a hard unbelieving heart, (2) Backsliding: from a shallow heart, (3) Sinful: from a heart overwhelmed with sin and (4) Acceptance: from a believing and…

Revelation 15:4, “Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” The God of the gospel is both fully loving and completely holy. Some people choose to focus only on one attribute; however,…
