The Meat of the Gospel
“To understand the key to this book is to comprehend the full implication of the Gospel.
The Gospel is so profound it passes beyond the comprehension of the wise and so simple it can be received by a child.
In it the power of God is released to save the sinner and produce righteousness in the unrighteous.
The basis upon which this is received is faith upon the part of the sinner.
Only God could devise a way that would exclude none and make available to all men His salvation.”
Dr. Carroll Thompson
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
And in this text Paul start off by saying.
I am Not.
The writer is saying with this statement
If I am not, you should not be.
Should not be Ashamed
The word ashamed here means to feel shame for something.
Points to being ashamed for doing something wrong.
What should we never be ashamed for?
We live in a culture that tries to make us feel ashamed for believing in the Gospel.
Ashamed or embarrass Paul who in the name of God went around killing Christian persecuting the church makes a very bold statement.
Even with the entire thing that I have done all the wrong I have wrong I am not ashamed/scared or embarrass to tell you have God can and change my.
Paul didn’t stop telling us about his salvation experience.
Paul was not ashamed.
Of what?
There are 4 key words in these 2 scripture.
The first one is
Gospel
What is the Gospel?
The good news of Christ.
The Gospel is the power of God for Salvation
The word for Gospel here is yoo-ang-ghel'-ee-on meaning Good news, or an announcement to Good.
Let’s look at
Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
3 things about the Gospel here.
1. Christ came to the word (the Expression of Love)
2. Christ Died for the Sinner (for our sin)
3. Christ rose from the Dead (for our Deliverance)
The Gospel is 3 Things
1. Life for the Dying
2. Forgiveness for the guilty
3. Righteousness for the unrighteous
See we have made the Gospel so mythical that it has lost all of it practicality.
See we have made it so fiction and that it has lost it truth.
Many people see the Bible as a fairy tale.
They put the story of David and Goliath right up there with the fictional story of Beauty and the Beast.
They read it without the revelation so what they read is just words.
But the bible to me is more than stores.
It more than a man in a whale.
When I read the bible I see myself in the pages.
I don’t just see see myself as Jonah trip in a situation and when I called upon Jesus he delivered me from death.
The Gospel is not just words, it is Power.
It not just Logos its Ramah (that which is or has been uttered by the living voice)
That leads me to the next key word.
Power
The Greek work for Power here is Dunamis.
It means strength, ability, power for performing miracles.
Power of God unto salvation.
I preach because I know that the Gospel has power I know that the gospel has change my life and I am not ashamed tell you.
The Gospel saves.
But how will people hear the Gospel without a preacher.
Paul say in
for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.
Why?
Because the Gospel of Jesus has Power.
The power is within the Gospel to bring forth Salvation.
That power is the power of God.
It is the power of God
The Gospel, by nature, has this inherent power.
This power in the Gospel lead to Salvation.
The Next key word is
Salvation
So what is Salvation?
Now the word Salvation comes from the Greek Word Soteria.
This means Freedom from Jail or prison.
The word means Deliverance.
3 things that Salvation means
1. Deliverance/Salvation from Hell
Deliverance/Salvation from Hell
Thank God we get to spend eternity with our God
2. Deliverance/Salvation from the Control of Sin
Roman 6: 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the slaves of righteousness.
3. Deliverance/Salvation from our Enemy
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us.
And the last thing
4. Deliverance/Salvation from Sickness
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health (your Salvation): for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
We should be sharing the Goodnews to others.
That you can be saved, you can be delivered.
This is the Meat of the Gospel.
Salvation is not a set of rules to follow, but a gift we are to accept.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Faith
