The True Gospel (Part 3)
CGG Weekly by Richard T. RitenbaughThe New Testament writers frequently refer to the gospel, with the term "gospel of Christ" appearing fourteen times among various modifiers. Romans 1:16 provides a significant insight, stating, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes." This reveals that the gospel of Christ is the means through which God grants salvation to those who live by faith. The power inherent in this gospel, derived from the Greek word dunamis, suggests a dynamic force ready to propel a believer toward eternal life. However, the gospel of Christ is not universally applied, as it requires belief, and only those who truly believe and do the will of the Father will enter the kingdom of heaven. Belief, in this context, involves not just agreement with Christ, but also living according to His teachings. The gospel of Christ instructs in righteousness, revealing God's way through faith, so that believers may live faithfully and walk by faith, not by sight.
