An introduction
The central message of Jesus Christ was the message of "the Kingdom of God" or "the Kingdom of Heaven". This message, when understood, is the most relevant message for the needs of humanity. It is a highly attractive message, and will produce the greatest results of any message one could give. This message must once again become the central theme of preachers and teachers in these last days.
Jesus as a soul-winner
For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost. (Lk 19:10)
He who says he abides in Him [in Jesus] ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (1 Jn 2:6)
Do you not know yourselves – that Jesus Christ is in you? – unless indeed you are disqualified. (2Cor 13:5)
The Instructions to Go regularly and often
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mk 16:15)
Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. (Ps.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven.”(Matthew 7:21).
Some have taught that your salvation is secure if you pray a prayer inviting Christ to be your Saviour. Others have taught that if you just SAY ‘Jesus is Lord’ you will be saved according to Romans 10:9. But Jesus said you have to ‘do the will of the Father’ to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Calling Him Lord is therefore not enough.
We believe in the present day operation of the nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, as recorded in 1 Cor 12. We also believe in the ministry gifts of Christ, as recorded in Eph 4:11-13.
Introduction
It is amazing how difficult some jobs are without the proper tools. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to cut a piece of timber if you didn’t have a saw? Spiritual gifts are the tools that God has given us to enable us to be more effective in accomplishing the task of working with Him to build His church.
We have seen that after the fall of Adam all men became sinners, law breakers and were under the righteous judgment of God. Yet God's plan was not destroyed at this point. God still wanted to be a good Father to us. But now it was necessary for us to be saved from the consequences of our rebellion against God.
“… for we are not ignorant of his devices.” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
Paul and his close co-workers made it their business not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. This does not mean that Paul spent a lot of time researching all the dark secrets of Satan’s kingdom. No. Paul said to the Romans, “I want you to be wise in what is good, but simple (innocent) concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Romans 16:19). Honestly, we don’t need to be “au fait” with all the latest conspiracy theories and what Satan may or may not be doing (Isaiah 8:12,13).
“We know that we are in God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.”
(1 John 5:20)
“…
“… knowing that you were called for this purpose, that you may inherit a blessing. ” (1 Peter 3:9)
It is really important to God that YOU inherit a blessing! Its not something to be ashamed of or to apologize for. On the contrary, it is central to God’s purpose for your life! The Scriptures declare it, and so when you as one of God’s people are blessed, then God Himself is glorified.
God wants you to be blessed, even in ways you have never known before. We can get more of an idea of God’s purpose when we consider one of the main reasons Jesus died on the cross and suffered for us.
In the evangelical/pentecostal churches there are actually two different versions of gospel being presented by people who would claim they take the Word of God as their authority in faith and practice. I want to draw your attention to the fundamental issue in question here, because it has to do with your ETERNAL SALVATION.
