Featured What is the Gospel of God?

It's very difficult to condense life and death issues with eternal implications down much further.

 

Not only that, but according to Calvinism, God pre-selects people ......................

 

It is inexplicable. Especially in light of 1 John 3:16
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

and 1 John 4:7-9
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

and Rev 1:5
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

 

SAME one that Paul and the other Apostles taught/preached, that we are all sinners, none can get right with God by their own efforts/works, and that Jesus death was complete atonement/propiation God provided to save those intended to be saved by the Cross, so its by His death, and thru faith alone by that shed blood alone, sinners made right with God!

 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

I wonder when God begin to love the world? When he determined he would give his Son? And why would there be a gospel?

saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' Matt 22:42 YLT
but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's -- foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, 1Peter 1:19,20 YLT
And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; Rev 13:8 YLT

Wonder if God knew something bad was going happen to what he was about to create and establish that would require to be reconciled unto himself?

 

I also wonder way God created Adam so that his life/soul was in the blood of him? Could that question be relative to the gospel?

 

well, it reads better then some who would call the Gospel'jesus loves me, this I know, the bible tells me so", or else" Ask jesus into your heart!"

 

That is my point concerning, "the gospel."

There is, "good," in the world about us and there is also, "bad," in the world about us. Where does the good come from and where does the bad come from. Is the world waxing better and better or is it waxing worse and worse. When will it change. IMHO when Jesus comes to sit on the throne of his glory, in the kingdom of God. Currently God is calling out a people for his name to reign with Jesus. But the good news is at some point in time the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. Satan will be bound to deceive the nations no more. Christ will rule with righteousness.

This they said of Paul. Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. Acts 17:7 because everywhere he went he preached: Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

Does Satan deceive the nations concerning the love of God through Jesus his Son? If they are deceived, then how can they believe?

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end (of this age) come. Matt 24:14

 

think we also must tell people that Jesus demands us to take up our Cross daily and follow him, as many of us just want Him to keep us from hell, but not to "mess with our lives"
