The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Daniel 3:18


Title:  But even if he does not



Who do we think we are?

God doesn’t owe us a single favor.  On the contrary we are so deeply indebted to him that eternity would not suffice serving him. 

We may give and offer our bodies as living sacrifices for the sake of the gospel, even to the point of laying down our very lives, but that is just what is expected from us.

My God’s thoughts are greater and higher than mine.  He doesn’t make available to me explanations for every event in my life; what he gives me is the grace to serve him in all circumstances.

If I can serve him only in favorable situations, I would cease to be a Christian and He ceases to be God.
