“Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance.” (1 Corinthians 15 v 1-3)
- The GOSPEL doesn’t change over time and we need reminding of that even if our culture and world changes, the GOSPEL remains.
- The GOSPEL isn’t something we create for ourselves to fit into our own lifestyles and behaviours but it is what we receive.
- The GOSPEL requires a decision to hold firmly to it and to take a stand for it so as not to drift from what was originally given.
- The GOSPEL has saved you but calls for an ongoing commitment to it.
- The GOSPEL is so important it needs to be given to others. We are responsible to give what has been given to us.
