Gospel

I heard this song lyric.

May I never lose the wonder of this gospel ministry…

This is my prayer.

This is my intention for 2022.

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13–14 (NIV)

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1:17–19a (NIV)

While the Gospel is a simple message of Good News from God, it is manifold in meaning.

What does the Gospel mean to me when I struggle with sin?

How does the Gospel encourage me when my heart despairs?

What does the Gospel say to me when others don’t know what to say?

How does the Gospel sustain me when all hope seems lost?

What is the message of the Gospel as I seek to be transformed into the likeness of Christ? At every turn, every struggle, every stronghold, every doubt, every hard day…where and how will the Gospel meet me? How will the Gospel continue to change me?

I want to experience it.
